The name says it all really. For hostellers in The Peak District won’t be short of hills to climb, with Kinder Scout being the tallest of the bunch at 636m high. Kinder scout isn’t the only challenging walk either, nearby Mam Tor is another peak to reach with a stunning view as a reward for ascending.
