Starting from the village of Castleton at the head of the Hope valley and the home of Blue John and Peveril Castle, we first take the steady climb to Hollin’s Cross where the coffin route passes from Edale to Hope.
From here it’s a steady climb to Mam Tor an Iron age hill fort from 1200BC.
We then circle the end of the valley to descend steeply down the steep Cave Dale passing below the castle back into the village for refreshments.
