Mam Tor, Hope

There are numerous sign boards around the park that direct hikers to a variety of foot trails..

First class views and not that difficult to access. There are car parks all the way up to the base of the summit but don't park on the side of the roads even if your over the double yellow lines... You will get a ticket. Two paths up, one with large flag stones or the longer, less steep route that goes around the rear of the summit. Either way its a slightly tricky 1.5 hour walk at a steady pace. Beware.... Approaching the summit from either direct there is a massive sudden drop towards Castleton. Stay on the path.

Beautiful views, steep quick climb to the summit from the dark peak car park. Another popular location. The ridge walk was stunning. Dogs need to be on leads.

Had a lovely walk from Castleton to Mam Tor, epic views with stunning scenery, rain from yesterday had made some of the paths wet and slippy but Mam Tor had big stone steps which made it easy to get to the top. I do suggest sticking to the off road paths as the drivers/tourists around here drive at stupidly high speeds and felt unsafe at times walking at the side of the road. Lots of carpark tho around Mam Tor which we found later on, so we didn't really need to park so far away.

If you love walking then this is the place for you. Spectacular views and suitable for all ages. Plenty of parking around but no toilet facilities so be prepared! There a few caverns located close by which we didn’t get to see due to timescales but there is always next time. Well worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.
