While the cold weather and wintery showers often leave us feeling a little down in the build-up to Christmas, it actually provides perfect walking conditions. Chilly temperatures are particularly welcoming when scaling some of the Peak District's tallest summits, such as the lesser-known Win Hill. This hill offers a tranquil and picturesque experience, making it a worthy competitor to popular spots like Mam Tor and Kinder Scout.
While the cold weather and wintery showers often leave us feeling a little down in the build-up to Christmas , it actually provides perfect walking conditions as opposed to the roaring - and often dangerous - heat that we see in the summer months. Chilly temperatures are particularly welcoming when scaling some of the Peak District 's tallest summits - such as Win Hill , which can be seen from miles around.
Not only can the hill be squeezed into an easy-to-follow circular walk, but there's also a brilliant pub at the end of it. We started our journey by parking near The Yorkshire Bridge Inn to the north of Bamford before walking along the Ladybower Dam wall, following a path that takes you clockwise around the banks of the dam.
After a slightly exhausting trek to the top of the path, you'll find a rather remote area of woodland adorned with Christmas trees and the occasional sheep. Keep following the green signs that direct you to Win Hill and you'll eventually emerge from the trees to a path called Hope Cross. You'll need to keep following the path to the east and you'll eventually notice a prominent peak on the horizon - a hill shaped like a cone - and you'll be within touching distance of one of Derbyshire's most stunning viewpoints. After another 15 minutes or so and one final push to the top, you'll be met with a trig point and a full 360-degree view.
