From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Kinder Scout is a moorland plateau in the Dark Peak of the Derbyshire Peak District. Part of the moor, at 636 metres above sea level, is the highest point in England outside the Lake District.
The Pennine Way crosses Kinder Scout, and has partly eroded the underlying peat. The plateau was also the target of the Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout.
Kinder Downfall is the highest waterfall in the Peaks, at thirty metres. It lies on the River Kinder, where is flows west over the edge of Kinder Scout. The waterfall was formerly known as Kinder Scut, and it is from this that the plateau derives its name.
