Mam Tor and the Great Ridge

6.8 miles distance and a 3-4 hour walk – 25 miles from the cottage

Walking along the Great Ridge from Lose Hill to Mam Tor can be busy as it is very popular but when you’re walking along the ridge with the valleys on either side, you’ll see why. This route begins from Castleton up to Lose Hill summit then along the Great Ridge, over Back Tor, then on to Hollins Cross and finally Mam Tor. As you walk along the ridge you can see the other Peak District hills in the area, including the highest point at Kinder Scout, and then all the way to Win Hill, looking down you can see the beautiful village of Castleton and the village of Edale either side.
