View from Mam Tor

Highlight • Natural Monument

Absolutely the best views from the top of Mam Tor. If you want to enjoy some peace and quiet, go early!! Mam Tor gets very busy and virtually overrun with visitors, car parking becomes a nightmare. Ensure not to park anywhere along the road that isn't a designated parking bay - traffic wardens regularly issue tickets to anyone who is even an inch outside the bay.

Edale Village

Highlight • Parking

Edale is a beautiful village set at the base of Kinder Scout. It’s a great start point for walks in the local area, including the classic Mam Tor and the Great Ridge. There’s a large pay and display car park, which has toilets and a cafe, a couple of good pubs and a small shop in the village centre.

September 12, 2024,Half of the Edale Skyline

Doing the Edale skyline in 2 weeks, so I got some training in. Halved it, bobbing through Edale from Mam Tor. Muddy and foggy up on Kinder. No surprise there. Diverted slightly to Edale Cross, a Peaky Wonder. Wasn't as bad as I thought, apart from Grindslow, that's a hard one.

Hard on your feet and cold at the top need a hat 👒...rewarding walk 🚶‍♂️

June 23, 2024,Grindslow Knoll – Mam Tor loop from Edale

Would like to point out that this hike includes Grindsbrook Clough, which is a scramble up and also down.
Did not enjoy the 2 mile section where you go off right near the top of Jacobs ladder along a section that eventually takes you to Mam tor. I found it quite a boring section.
