If you go late afternoon then you may be lucky and be able to park the car in the lay-by just past the summit. We were lucky and then did an approx 1 mile circular loop to see the sun setting. Amazing views and a must do if you can 🥳

First hike up Mam Tor. Previously had been put off by negative reviews of it being overcrowded. Started at Castleton and did a loop via Cave Dale then onto Mam Tor, Great Ridge and back to Castleton. Mam Tor was busy for a March sunny day but it was doable. The views are stunning and plenty of places to stop and have a breather. What I found annoying were the selfish dog owners who didn’t think the ‘keep dogs on leads’ signs applied for to them! Dodging dogs on a hairy hike up steep steps is no fun. Assume these are the same owners that left their dog poo bags swinging on the gates. Total imbeciles.

My son and grandson invited my daughter and I to get the train and walk up Mam Tor one Sunday afternoon. The train stops at Edale Station which is within ten minutes of the track to Mam Tor so it was easy and stress free. We had a drink in a lovely little cafe next to the station too. The weather was fair and although a little windy at times we loved that there was no rain and the view was clear. We walked past some sheep and cows and my three year old grandson loved the whole adventure. We made it to the summit and then walked back down again. There were quite a few people there but not too many and it was a lovely day with stunning views.

Get the free pamphlet from the pub/hotel The Bull's Head. Follow the route in the pamphlet and you won't go wrong. 6.5 miles to see Mam Tor and the whole of the great ridge including Back Tor and Lose Hill. Do not bring your 60 year old mother, she might not make it. Mine did because she is hardcore. Do bring lunch and a coat - its cold and windy at the top!

We recently completed a hike at Mam Tor in the Peak District, located in Hope. The trail features beautiful hills and breathtaking views. The entire trek is an incline, so be prepared for a bit of a workout. Despite the challenge, it's well worth it. Along the way, we encountered sheep and cows, which added to the charm of the experience. Overall, a highly recommended hike!

Lovely hike, we hiked 6.8 miles across Mam Tor across elbow ridge, the great ridge and lose hill back through Castleton. However If you want a short hike just up Mam tor this is also possible. We parked at the car park near the caves which I felt was a big rip off for £10 when there are so many free spaces around where I would park next time. Needless to say get there before 10am as it gets very busy on weekends and bank holidays.
