The Edale Northern Skyline & Castleton loop from Hope is a difficult hike, spanning 19.3 miles (31.0 km) with an elevation gain of 2339 feet (713 metres), typically taking 8 hours and 51 minutes to complete. This route offers varied terrain and continuous panoramic views across the Peak District National Park. You will experience steep climbs and rocky paths, especially on the ascent to Mam Tor, which provides sweeping vistas over the Edale and Hope Valleys. The trail also takes you across the rugged landscapes of Kinder Scout, featuring the Kinder Low trig point and fascinating rock formations at places like Ringing Roger.
Planning your visit requires good fitness levels and suitable gear, including sturdy, well-fitting walking boots. While the loop is often started from the village of Hope, you can also access it from Edale or Castleton, offering flexibility for your adventure. Hope itself provides amenities like parking, cafes, and shops, making it a convenient starting point. Be prepared for varied conditions; some sections are well-marked, while others, particularly on Kinder Scout, can be less defined and involve peat bogs, requiring sure-footedness.
This route is considered a classic Peak District challenge, even serving as a well-known fell running race. It encompasses many of the region's most famous peaks and features, including Win Hill, Mam Tor, and the entire Great Ridge. You will encounter diverse landscapes, from picturesque villages to expansive moorland and dramatic rock formations. The trail also passes Hope Cross, an ancient monument marking the crossroads of old packhorse routes, adding a touch of history to your journey through this iconic national park.
