Mam Tor

Mam Tor is a 517 m hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. Its name means "mother hill", so called because frequent landslips on its eastern face have resulted in a multitude of 'mini-hills' beneath it. These landslips, which are caused by unstable lower layers of shale, also give the hill its alternative name of Shivering Mountain.

Great Ridge

The Great Ridge is a ridge separating the vales of Edale and Castleton. It extends for approximately 3 kilometres from Mam Tor at the western end of the ridge to Lose Hill at the eastern end, the lowest point being Hollins Cross, where the most often used path up to, or over, the ridge runs. A path runs along the length of the ridge, and is roughly paved to prevent erosion from the large number of visitors.
