Mam Tor Circular Walk, High Peak

Views of the Peak District. Plan ahead, can get extremely busy on weekends. Moderate walking on good paths, some steps and steep climbs. Several gates and stiles. Steep paths may be slippery when wet.

A 5.1 km half-day trail that offers a balanced outing without demanding too much. Budget around 1 hour and 8 minutes.

This route forms a near-complete loop: the start and finish are very close together, so only minimal transport is needed to get back. It combines the convenience of a circular walk with a slightly varied return.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
