There is a mix of different length Mam Tor walking routes starting with a lovely short 3-mile walking route to a huge 20-mile hike option, as well as plenty of walks in between (5, 6, 7 8, 10 + 12 mile routes). Mam Tor is a child summit of Kinder Scout. The walks start from the locations surrounding Mam Tor ( Castleton, Edale, Barber Booth, Hope and Mam Nick car park). Other Notes: all ground on summit is man-made. The top can be identified by the cobbled ground 3m NW of trig point. This is a three mile walk (4.8km) that takes approximately 1-2 hours. All the walking routes up Mam Tor on Mud and Routes can be found below. It is said that coffins were taken via this route from Edale to the church in Hope for burial. Mam Tor is a summit in the The Peak District region or range in England. Hollins Cross marks the lowest point on the ridge between Edale and Castleton, and so became a major route between the two settlements. Walk along here, and look across Edale to your left, with the Kinder Plateau looming in the background, and the Castleton and hope below you to the right, as you head towards the first stop on the ridge tour: Hollins Cross.
Mam Tor is typically walked with the ridge that extends to the east from its summit. Located within easy reach of Castleton, and with a car park only 5 minutes from the summit, the spot is popular with people seeking an easy and quick opportunity to be on top of the world, but for those looking for a longer experience, there is plenty to fill your day out. It’s well maintained stone steps, which though steep are not slippery (when dry) and it only takes 10-15 minutes each way.
If you simply want to walk to the top of Mam Tor and back, you’re basically climbing one path all the way.
