additional information
Location
Mam Tor is a 517 m (1,696 ft) hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. Its name means “mother hill”, so called because frequent landslips on its eastern face have resulted in a multitude of “mini-hills” beneath it.
The exact meeting point will be sent to you later.
The Hike
There are 3 options:
Route 1: The Mam Tor Circular Walk is 3 miles (4.8km) and will take roughly 1- 2 hours.
Route 2: Castleton to Mam Tor Walk – The Great Ridge is 6. 5 miles (10.5km) and will take roughly 3-4 hours.
Route 3: Hope to Mam Tor Walk – is 9 miles (14.5km) and will take roughly 5-6 hours.
These times are approximate and depend on who you are walking with (children), how fast you walk and how fit you are. Two of the most important factors to take into consideration are the weather and time of year. If you can, you should take time to sit, relax and enjoy some of the most beautiful views in the Peak District.
