Grindslow Knoll

Grindslow Knoll is a 601-meter summit in the Peak District that overlooks the southern moorlands and drops steeply toward Vale of Edale. The peak connects to surrounding ridges and can be approached from different directions through the valleys below.

The summit sits on the Pennine Way, the first official long-distance footpath in Britain, which came about through public access campaigns in the 1960s. This route changed how people could walk through the mountains freely.

The summit attracts walkers who follow well-worn paths that reflect generations of visitors exploring the area. These routes have become part of how people experience and move through the landscape.

The best time to climb is from late spring through autumn when conditions are generally favorable. It is wise to bring waterproof gear, as the weather can change quickly at this elevation.

The summit stands geographically separate from nearby Kinder Scout despite being linked by a high saddle, creating an unusual mountain formation. This feature makes it a distinctive stop for those walking the ridge.
