Freshwalks – Edale Sunset Walk

Route: Edale - The Nab - Kinder Scout - Grindslow Knoll – Edale

Welcome to Freshwalks and for our latest Women in Property collaboration event, we're heading to Edale in the Hope Valley to hopefully enjoy the sun setting across the Peak District. The hike has been planned to start late afternoon, extending into early evening meaning you can still squeeze in the majority of a working day before joining us.

Route Description

Edale is a small village at the start/end of the UK’s first and most famous long distance walking path - the Pennine Way. Our route heads through the village before we begin the initial stiff ascent of Kinder Scout. We zig-zag upwards via The Nab before we start to head east along the southern edges of the plateau. We will pass the top of Grindsbrook Clough - a potential picnic spot for us - before reaching the highest point of the walk at Grindslow Knoll which offers fabulous panoramic views of the Vale of Edale. From this point, we begin our descent back to our starting point, dropping rapidly into the valley below. A classic circular route.

Public transport: Please take the 15:48 train from Manchester Piccadilly due to arrive in Edale at 16:32.

Picnic stop: Subject to weather, we plan to stop somewhere appropriate on Kinder Scout for an extended evening picnic stop approx 18:30-19:00 (for approx 15-20 minutes) so please bring along something suitable.

Return: We should return to Edale between 20:00 and 20:30 subject to group size and weather. We'll take things leisurely if it's a fine evening and enjoy the views. Please note the actual sunset time is approx 21:00 and we'll be back in Edale by this time.
