Mam Tor is a breathtaking summit with enchanting views over the Peak District. In clear conditions, the views stretch all the way to Manchester. There are so many options when hiking in this area, too. It can get busy, though, so choose your moment.

The thing I love about Mam Tor is the sheer amount of options you have. I've been here several times and one option is a really short walk up from the road; this is great if you want to get out and the weather is less than ideal.

However, if you want to extend this hike, you can climb Mam Tor, descend, and hike up and across Mam Nick, which is a lovely, much longer hike. This hill is quite long in comparison, extending the short Mam Tor hike from a couple of hours to a half-day trip. There's also Win Hill and Lose Hill nearby, and they can provide a further extension, both lovely hikes.

I spent a full day exploring this area and its hills and it wasn't enough! I've been back a few times, but if you're from further afield, I recommend staying here a few days as there are lots of other things to do in and around Castleton too.
