Difficulty: Moderate (7.5 Miles)

Start/ End point: Castleton Bus Station S33 8WF

This is a 6 ½ mile walk starting in Castleton and walking through some of the most admired and stunning parts of the Peak District. Known to be one of the best ridge walks in the country, this Peak District walk gives stunning views over Edale, Hope Valley and even the edge of Kinder Scout. We will go down the limestone way, then to the summit of Mam Tor, also known as the ‘Shivering Mountain’. The views from the top of Mam Tor are some of the best in the country and iconic in Peak District landscape photography. From Mam Tor we walk up to the top of Back Tor, across Hollins Cross and then onto Lose Hill Pike, all of which have superb views of some of the most idyllic parts of the Peak District.

If the weather is poor the route may be reduced in length.
