About Peat Shank
It's worth doing if you're staying at Border Forest Holiday Park and fancy a half-day outing that won't knacker the legs. Families with older kids will manage it fine; younger ones might struggle with the unrelenting moorland walking and lack of facilities. Reckon on two to three hours there and back depending on your pace and whether you faff about on top taking photos.
The real draw here is the solitude. You won't find car parks and gift shops - it's just heather, sky, and the occasional bemused sheep wondering why you're trudging across their patch. That's either brilliant or a bit dull depending on what you want from a day out. If you're after Instagrammable vistas and a café at the summit, look elsewhere. If you want a genuine hill walk without the Alpine climbing, this works. Late summer's best when the heather's flowering and the midges aren't absolutely vicious.
