Castle Circular - 6 miles.
Starting from the main visitors car park in Castleton, we'll make our way past the remains on Peveril Castle and through the beautiful dry limestone Cave Dale Valley heading towards Mam Tor.
After a steep but gentle ascent up Mam Tor we'll follow the ridge until we reach the summit of Hollins Cross and then head down back into on of Castleton's fine pubs for some food and drinks.
Most of the walk is on good solid footpath but we will walk through a couple of farm fields that can be a little wet or muddy at times so suitable footwear is required.
