Among the 15 inspiring routes, the classics are all included, such as Grindsbrook Clough from Edale, and Kinder Downfall from Hayfield, and even those who are familiar with the area will find new and imaginative route ideas to discover.

Sarah Lister is a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader based in Edale village at the foot of Kinder Scout. The landscape first captured her attention in 2016 and since then has inspired her work as a Career Coach and host of two podcasts, Wild About Kinder and About The Adventure. She finds Kinder Scout a curious place and invites you to explore its beautiful edges, moorland plateau, gritstone rocks, and hidden cloughs with her guiding hand.

For first timer and regular visitor alike, the perfect Kinder Scout companion

This little guidebook is a perfect companion for anyone wishing to visit Kinder Scout. With well chosen routes of varying difficulty, clearly mapped and described, it allows readers to explore this special place, from well known spots to the quieter more hidden places, this guide provides inspiration even for those who are quite familiar with this 'the people's mountain'. Each route has plenty of additional information including historic and environmental points of interest, even recommendations for good brew stops! All this wrapped up with general walking advice too. A top quality walking guide illustrated with fine photography. I'm very happy to highly recommend it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Mountain Walks Kinder Scout by Sarah Lister

This book has been such a gift during my recovery. Since my accident, building back my fitness has been a slow journey, and Mountain Walks Kinder Scout by Sarah Lister has given me both guidance and inspiration.

I’ve followed several of the walks from the book—starting with the shorter, easier routes and gradually working my way up to more challenging ones. Each walk has helped me regain strength and confidence, while also giving me the joy of being outdoors again. The breathtaking views of Kinder Scout make every step feel worthwhile, and reaching each milestone in my recovery on these trails has been incredibly rewarding.

I love the mountain, I love these walks, and I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Whether you’re looking for stunning scenery, clear guidance, or just the motivation to get outside, this book truly delivers.

Fantastic accessible guide to Kinder

This is an amazing little book with a wide variety of routes of different lengths and complexity. Unusually for a book of walking routes it is also an absolute pleasure to read. Sarah writes with knowledge and deep affection for the area. Best of all, it’s actually small enough to throw in your pack.

Sarah and Vertebrate have pulled off quite a feat with this book and I hope others in the series are just as good. They will make a brilliant “library” for our camper, and as any van lover knows a book really has to earn its place there.
