Win Hill is a striking Peak District summit offering panoramic views across Ladybower Reservoir, the Hope Valley, and surrounding moorlands. Rising to 463 metres, it’s a favourite with walkers thanks to its mix of forest trails and open ridgelines, with routes varying from steep climbs to more gradual ascents.
