Today I'm looking at Mam Tor which sits on the edge of the Dark Peak (gritstone) and the White Peak (limestone) areas of the Peak District which is just to the North East of here.
From there you get some fantastic views of the limestone parts of the National Park, such as the dry gorge of Winnats Pass which many a hiker has photographed.
Mam Tor is the main link between the eastern end of Rushup Edge and the western end of the Great Ridge, making this one of the most popular ridge walks in the entire Peak District.
From there on a good day you can see as far out as Manchester.
Being located near Castleton, it has a number of caverns just below it, such as: Treak Cliff Cavern, Blue John Cavern which I visited several times as a boy, Speedwell Cavern and Peak Cavern.
