Total Distance: 10 mls app
Total Ascent/Descent: 1775ft ap
A wonderful circular walk, taking in
a spectacular limestone dale, high pastures and one of the classic Peak
District edges.
Leaving Castleton, we climb up
through Cavedale on the “Limestone Way,” and through the high pastures around
Rowter Farm. Further climbing takes us to the summit of Mam Tor at 1696 ft.
Dodging the D of E parties, we work our way down to Hollins Cross and then up
to Back Tor with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. A final
climb then leads to the end of the ridge at Lose Hill before our descent to the
village of Hope and a return to Castleton along scenic field paths.
