Winter transforms the High Peak into an epic and tranquil landscape. Crisp mornings dust the moorland with glistening frost and low-lying clouds blanket the valley floor creating famous cloud inversions. Explore the Peak District's hidden gems with our carefully curated winter walks programme, offering a selection of low-level walks across the Kinder, Edale & the High Peak.
This moderate guided walk explores some of the Peak Districts’ most spectacular archaeological and geological sites including Mam Tor Hillfort, Odin Mine and Cave Dale. Beginning at Mam Tor Car Park, the walk ascends the steps onto Mam Tor's Iron Age Hillfort. From the summit, the route descends into the Hope Valley, stopping at Odin Mine, before a moderate ascent up the impressive limestone valley at Cave Dale and back to the car park.
The walk is approximately 6 miles and includes a road crossing, a steep ascent up steps, and follows an uneven footpath. Dogs on leads are welcome but there may be some stiles.
