This is a great solitary hike on the often boggy Combs Moss which lies above Chapel-en-le-Frith and Combs, with panoramic views that take in Cracken Edge, South Head and Kinder Scout.
The walk can be started in a number of places and is accessible via public transport. There is some parking at Chapel-en-le-Frith railway station or in the residential streets on the edge of Chapel. An hourly train service runs between Manchester and Buxton.
Circumnavigating the whole of the Kinder Scout Plateau, a wild peat upland rimmed by gritstone edges, the Kinder Circuit is a long day walk. It follows the path along the top of the edges and gives wonderful views all the way around. It can be started and finished anywhere where there is access. We chose Edale as it has good parking (and a pub when you finish) and the path up onto the plateau via Ringing Roger is one of the easiest ways up.
