Blackstone edge mate is a good one for little ones, just past Hollingworth lake, Mam Tor and all those in that area are great but you’ll need to get there early for parking as they get quite busy.

When it’s like that it’s heaven, went up to the lakes last autumn before the last lockdown and did a couple of days walking on my own midweek... no one around and just bliss, watched the jets flying over Grasmere and just sat having a brew, absolutely beautiful.
Blackstone edge...
Park at the pub at the top of the hill, cross the road and go up the track then climb up to the summit, nothing too strenuous at all and nice and easy for the kids.

Took the kids uo to dovestones this morning, great little tootle round there, has anyone got any recommendations for any other localish walks with the kids?
They both eight, we've done rivington a few times and now dovestones, was thinking maybe mam tor? Or something along those lines.
As a side post, got to the car park at dovestones at 9.15 this morning and the warden was already out stalking the cars, he wouldnt let me put a ticket on a car he was just about to book as he said he'd already put it through, ffs mahrez for the sake of two quid someone was coming back feeling great from a decent walk to having their balloon well and truly burst

Strinesdale reservoir is a good walk and loads of different routes you can go on, going up to the roebuck and back.
 
Hiking around Dovestones and Holmfirth a couple of weeks ago. Was a tad cold.
