We wanted to find some nice family walks in the Peak District to take Emmas two kids on their first proper hike, we decided to try out The Roaches and Lud's Church route we had found on the Alltrails app as it seemed fairly easy going and wasn't too far for them to walk.

Maya is only 6 and Jonah is 9, they were really excited to be climbing a peak and it was wonderful how much they were appreciating being outside and admiring the scenery! Myself and Emma had previously done the Kinder Scout and Jacobs Ladder route, which we really enjoyed.. but we thought it may be a little too difficult for Maya as the route we had taken was just over 10 miles long.

We set out nice and early to get to The Peak District National park, I had only just got back home the night before from wild camping the Cumbria Way in the Lake District so was pretty shattered, but had been looking forward to taking the kids out with Emma so didnt mind the early start. There are plenty of parking spaces on Roach Road, which is really handy as it is right by the starting point of the trail. The views are wonderful and the trail itself was really beautiful with enough varied terrain to keep the kids amused climbing on all the rocks.

The plan for this family hike was to get to the summit of the Roaches and see if the kids were tired? if so there was a shorter option we could take which would miss out Lud's Church, turns out they were still full of energy so we did the complete circuit :-) if you are looking for a walk to do with the family, then we would highly recommend this one.
