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 like a hill-bagging list, so find Wainwright walks, Peak District Ethels walks, Peak District trig point walks and much more. 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!

Does anyone else have a camera roll full of sheep pictures (swipe for my fave from this Stanage Edge and Redmires Reservoir Spooky House walk). #stanageedge #stanage #thepeakdistrict #peakdistrictheather #familyhikes #moorland #peakdistrictnationalpark #peakdistrictwalkers #peakdistrictwalks
