I will be avidly watching this thread and may bookmark it as I expect some gold in here.
For my birthday we recently did Winhill via Parkin Clough, then came back down the path through the woods on the North side of Winhill, for a nice flat walk, with puddles to jump in and dry leaves to throw and kick, back around to where we parked. This was with our 20 month old in the Osprey Poco Plus carrier. This was November, wasn't too cold for him when he was wrapped up but wouldn't have fancied it a couple of weeks ago in the snow and wind!!!!
We parked on Lydgate Lane at the bottom, it was quiet, if there wasn't parking here there is plenty of reasonable parking dotted around the area.
Pro's: nice big proper hill for the Peak District! great views from the top where I got my stove out for a coffee and hot choc sat on the rocks!, lovely flat walk for little legs by the reservoir to get back around to the car . Close to parking. Short. Never far from car.
Con's: Parkin Clough is steep and narrow but we found it perfectly fine (half the fun tbh!!!), I carried him up their obvs. have to be careful with the little one on the rocks at the top obvs.
Enjoy!!!
Edit: where is this miraculous place which is one hour from everywhere?!
