Mount Famine and South Head Wet Walk

- Mount Famine is a hill in the Dark Peak that lies roughly halfway between the villages of Chinley and Hayfield, with great views of Kinder Scouts south-west corner.
Origin of the name ‘Mount Famine’
Way back between 1750 and 1850, Enclosure Acts were passed that resulted in land such as commons and moorlands being allocated to private landowners. These landowners built walls to section off parts of their new land in order to lease it to tenant farmers. Unfortunately, the land often wasn’t suitable for successful farming, and so the tenant farmers, despite their hard work, often went hungry. These farmers are sometimes memorialised in place-names. Mount Famine is an example of this in the Dark Peak. Other examples include Starvation Hill, Never Gains, Famish Acre, and Mount Misery all in Dartmoor.
