Overview

We will walk through the village of Edale and up by the Nab onto the edge of Kinder Scout in this circular walk. We will walk over Nether and Upper Tors high above Grindsbrook and over Grindslow Knoll to descend back in to Edale. Maybe a drink in the Ramblers Hotel before getting the train back to Manchester.
