Helping people improve their mental wellbeing through walking, hiking and outdoor adventure in the Peak District and beyond
Mountains Not Molehills is a resource for finding great Peak District walks as well as building a healthier relationship with the walking and the outdoors in general. I believe the outdoors can be a powerful tool for better mental health. For some, that might mean taking on a big mountain walk, for others, it could be walking around a reservoir, hiking up to see a waterfall or even a gentle walk along a woodland path or canal. However you choose to explore, Mountains not molehills is here to encourage and inspire you.

While hiking can play an important role in improving wellbeing, we know it’s not the whole answer. That’s why we also share details of mental health organisations and support networks. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone—and help is available.
