Castleton & The Great Ridge Circular
Experience one of the Peak District's classic and most celebrated walks on this stunning eight-mile circuit. Starting from the historic village of Castleton, the route makes a direct ascent to the iconic summit of Mam Tor, the legendary "Shivering Mountain" where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over the Hope and Edale valleys.
Take in the Great Ridge, walking the thrilling spine of land that forms a dramatic divide between the valleys. After soaking in the magnificent vistas, the walk descends gently to the peaceful village of Hope. The final leg offers a tranquil contrast, following the serene Pinfold River on a pleasant waterside amble back to the start, completing a perfect loop of drama and gentle charm.
This is a quintessential Peak District day out, combining a famous hilltop, a spectacular ridge walk, and a peaceful valley return.
