A fantastic place for family time or a peaceful solo hike with your dog. Mam Tor and Black Tor are fairly easy and suitable for most people. There are plenty of walking routes around Castleton and beyond. With good weather, the views are absolutely stunning.

We did the Mam Tor hike, then the ridge to back Tor, then up to lose hill, down to hope town, then through to Castleton then back to the start. We found free parking off Sheffield road near mam Tor start, just make sure don't park by double yellow line as might get a fine. Very easy routes, well marked, well paved, stunning views, and go through the old towns with loads of green farm fields and sheep. Public toilets are in the towns as nothing on the mountains and loads of free parking in certain areas aswell as pay and display on the more convenient places. Don't forget to take water and some snacks. But there are pubs in the towns if want to refuel there. Few cycle paths and dog friendly. Our loop was around 14km. But you can cut certain places off to make it shorter as we wanted to see everything

Perfect place for sledging, bottom of Mam Tor 'round about 1400 ft above sea level. When you see snow up on top of the hills this is the sort of place. There is a carpark, watch out for double yellow lines on the main road, they are enforced even at weekends. If there's a decent drop of snow the carpark will be closed, but the double yellow lines will be obscured. ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ You are basically on a mountain side and weather conditions will be much more extreme at 1400ft than you are perhaps used to. As above when it snows, it snows and blows, this is not a good location while or when it's going to snow, your car will get stuck. Best after a snowfall that's melted or minimal at lower levels, a good indicator is on the road up from Chapel en le Frith, if it's covered at low level you ain't going to get up to 1400ft turn around. Nice in the summer ☀️ but stupidly busy

Mam Tor is truly a breathtaking destination, as evident from the stunning images captured during your visit. The sweeping views of the rolling hills, the lush green pastures dotted with sheep, and the picturesque stone walls all contribute to the idyllic charm of the place. It's easy to see why this location is a haven for photographers, especially during the golden hours when the light adds a magical touch to the landscape. The fact that your 5-year-old daughter managed to walk all the way to the top and back without stopping is a testament to how accessible and family-friendly this hike is. It's not only a great spot for a family outing but also has a romantic appeal, as you noticed with couples enjoying the serene environment. The mix of easy accessibility and stunning scenery makes Mam Tor a perfect spot for both seasoned hikers and families looking for a scenic walk. While the road-side parking is free, the limited number of spaces might require a bit of patience, especially on busy days. Nonetheless, the effort is well worth it for the experience that Mam Tor offers. Whether you're there for the hike, the views, or simply to soak in the beauty of nature, this spot does not disappoint.

Absolutely love the peak district. Some fabulous places to go on adventure and discover from Mam tor to Kinder scout and much more Mum tour has a great car park at the bottom of it and a really easy walk which would take 15 20 minutes for youngsters to walk up. Absolutely stunning, sunsets and sunrises to be seen from here. Even better is Kinder scout but is a much bigger walk, especially taking Jacob's ladder which is not Easy but worth every step once at the top
