A place I walk regularly, whether to start the great ridge toward Mam Tor, or coming back from that direction to head down into hope. A gradual gradient with stone steps so manageable in all weather, just very windy a lot of the time!

A great way to do this walk is to drive to Edale Car Park, take the train one stop from Edale to Hope and then follow the walk and descending back to Edale Car Park from Hollins Cross

One of the most famous routes in the Peak District, The Great Ridge has stunning views on a clear day down to Castleton and Edale, and over to the peaks of Grindslow Knoll and Kinder Scout. It gets quieter as you travel further along the ridge to Lose Hill, with many people just nipping up to the Mam Tor summit. It's a lovely place for a sunrise and cloud inversions, popular with photographers, so get there early! Parking is at the National Trust Mam Tor car park, just down the hill from Mam Tor (S33 8WA).

A bit of a cross roads on the Great Ridge. It's around halfway between Mam Tor and Back Tor and from here you can head down into Edale or Castleton. There is a Monument near the gate.
