Dark Peak District: March 12-13th
Regular price
£45.00
The Peak District in Derbyshire is an area that sports a double personality.
While the southern White Peak landscape is soft, with limestone caves and lush green valley, the northern Dark Peak is wild and wonderful with wide open spaces punctuated by clumps of unkempt heather and great big hills. Its Victorian grandeur leaves you feeling like horsemen clad in black capes might just race across the horizon.
Saturday: The Great Ridge
Starting from the picturesque Hope Valley village of Castleton and under the shadows of Peveril Castle, we head out through Cave Dale, before reaching a stunning view from the summit of Mam Tor. We follow the famous Great Ridge over Back Tor and Lose Hill before crossing the river Noe and returning along Peakshole Water from the pretty village of Hope. (Approx 9 miles)
