The Peak District: The Kinder Scout Walk (S01E08)

Julia returns to her Peak District origins, venturing into the first five miles of The Pennine Way, a path she first explored as a child. Her journey leads her to Kinder Scout, a key location linked to the historic 1932 mass trespass, as she departs from the quaint village of Edale. Following in the footsteps of countless walkers, she climbs the Kinder Plateau, a significant site in the establishment of Britain’s first National Trail over 50 years ago. Along the way, she reconnects with her dad and meets intriguing locals, including a traditional wood-bowl craftsman and the dedicated mountain rescue team that ensures safety on the rugged moors. This trek pays tribute to those who opened up the countryside, transforming Britain into a walking haven. Upon reaching the moor's summit, the breathtaking views of the Edale Valley make the effort truly rewarding.
