Mam Tor and Lose Hill Loop via Castleton

Discover this great loop to Mam Tor and Lose Hill starting from Castleton in the Peak District National Park, only 45 minutes away from Sheffield and a bit over an hour from Manchester. The trail is moderate albeit a bit long and begins uphill passing by the 11th century ruin of the Peveril Castle and carrying on uphill all the way to Mam Tor, the Shivering Mountain, with a stair section towards the top. There, the views are fantastic opening on the surrounding peaks and valleys. The route carries on to a cairn at the top of Lose Hill, with a few other landmarks on the way before coming back down to Castleton. The terrain varies between rocky trails (which can get muddy) and stony paved paths, and is overall very manageable. This is a popular route and can get quite busy on weekends or when the weather is lovely.
