Rocky landscape in the peak district

Scrambling in the Peaks

The Peak District is packed with routes that challenge your balance, strength, and nerve, from rocky gullies to steep gritstone edges. Each scramble rewards you with sweeping views, adrenaline, and the satisfaction of conquering the terrain. All of these routes have been tackled by our staff members and can be found on the Ordnance Survey OL1 map: The Peak District - Dark Peak Area and in the Cicerone Guide: Scrambles In The Dark Peak.
