Kinder Scout

One of the many interesting gritstone formations that litter the Kinder Plateau. Kinder Scout is one of only two ‘mountains’ in the Peak District with a total elevation at the highest point of 636 m (2,087 ft) making it the highest point in the whole of the East Midlands. It is in fact the closest mountain to London, showing just how flat the South of England is! Kinder Scout has a very similar landscape to neighbouring Bleaklow, offering similar views. From the top on a clear day you can see all the way to the mountains of Snowdonia.
