We followed the route guidance HERE but for some reason did it in reverse.Īrrive in Castleton before it gets too busy. I even wore trainers rather than hiking boots, which I wouldn’t dream of on some hikes so overall this is an easy to moderate hike. The route is largely paved or home to well trodden grass paths so no scrambling is involved. Terrain: The terrain includes quite a steep climb, so you need to be of reasonable fitness. Hike distance and time: The full round loop is 5 miles long and will take around 3 hours depending on fitness, so makes for the perfect half day trip. It costs £6 to park for the day, but does get filled up early so if it’s full when you arrive there is another car park down the road. The most central car park is by the Castleton Visitor Centre. Location: You start the Mam Tor hike in Castleton, where there is ample parking. You could do the direct route and park in the car park at the bottom, but where’s the fun in that?! Instead, we opted to do a 5 mile route from the town of Castleton and take in a bit more of the wonderful scenery surrounding us. One of the most famous walks in The Peak District is a hike up Mam Tor.
