About Jo

Hello! I’m Jo! Welcome to The Wandering Wildflower, an outdoors lifestyle blog focusing on family walks in the Peak District, a place we love exploring. I want to share the Peak District hidden gems and show you there’s so much more than the honeypot places, as well as Lake District walks and walking weekend ideas.

I hope this blog will give you some ideas of the best Peak District walks, and inspire you and your family to head into the great outdoors. Thanks for stopping by!

This Peak District scramble heads up the quieter, This Peak District scramble heads up the quieter, northern side of the Kinder Scout plateau up Nether Red Brook before heading across to The Edge trig point and Kinder Downfall and heads down by Fair Brook, packed with even more waterfalls.

Throwback to that time we wandered along the Great Throwback to that time we wandered along the Great Ridge and had a cloud inversion. It was so quiet, probably because it was a Tuesday morning and we were more than 1 mile from Mam Tor đŸ˜‰ I think inversion season is here again - it always coincides with condensation season in my old house and that is definitely happening now đŸ™Œ #peakdistrictwalks #hikersofig #hikinguk #thepeakdistrict #peakdistrictwalkers #backtor #mamtor #edalewalks #castletonwalks #hillwalking #hikingblogger
This walk starts with a brilliant scramble up Blac This walk starts with a brilliant scramble up Blackden Brook, packed with waterfalls, and heads over to the Aztec Rock, Edale Moor trig point and Madwoman's Stones.
