The far side of the Tor is a gradual incline and was quite tough to walk back up, but the views from the top are just fantastic. I walked up to the top of Mam Tor, and then along a good section of the Bridleway which stretches across several other hills and into the valley.

There is a car park at the bottom of the Tor which as of 2016 is £3.00 for all day (National trust members get parking for free) and the path up the Tor is clear so you cannot get lost. Located near Buxton, England Mam Tor is part of the Peak District range and has a maximum elevation of 517.0m.

There are numerous caves to explore near Mam Tor including the famous Blue John Cavern, and also the gorgeous Hope valley with the villages of Castleton, Edale and Hathersage. Mam Tor is a hill in the High Peak of the Peak District near Castleton, it is 517m and its name means Mother Hill (Deriving from all the smaller hills and landslides surrounding it, making it their mother as such). I also enjoyed the long walk through the countryside and being out in the fresh air. There are so many different areas of the Peak District to explore, and I have only uncovered part of its beauty – Mam Tor was yet another gem that I discovered on a day trip and managed to get some really striking photos.
