At 1,680 feet above sea level, this modest Peak District summit offers proper 360-degree views without the crowds that plague higher-profile hills. The walk up from Newtown is straightforward enough for most families, though the final approach across moorland can get boggy after rain.

From the trig point, you'll see across to Kinder Scout and Bleaklow on clear days, with the Roaches standing out to the west. It's not the most dramatic peak in Derbyshire, but the views are well worth the effort, especially looking north towards the Dark Peak.

Walkers looking for a decent half-day out will find this hits the spot. The route up takes about an hour at a steady pace, though keen ramblers often use it as part of longer circular walks. Kids might find the moorland terrain a bit samey compared to more varied landscapes elsewhere in the Peak District.

Timing matters here - go on a crisp winter day and you'll have the place to yourself, but summer weekends can see a fair few day-trippers making the pilgrimage. The proximity to holiday parks like Longnor Wood Holiday Park and Hartington Hills makes it a proper option for families based in the area who want to tick off a summit without committing to a full day's yomp.
