Full description

Starting from Hope - we head south and follow the footpath west into Castleton. We then follow the limestone way past Peveril Castle & Cave Dale before turning North West towards Mam Tor via Oxlow House and Windy Knoll. From Mam Tor we follow the Great Ridge all the way along to Lose Hill and then back down into Hope. If it's still open, I quite fancy going to the Grasshopper Café but if not we can always pop into a pub in Hope.

Public transport or car sharing options:

The 272 bus leaves from Sheffield Interchange at 9:49, or catch the 10:12 train from Sheffield station (however there is a bit of a walk from the station to the start point).

Be Prepared

Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year, with plenty of warm clothes and waterproofs, as well as food and water.
