It meant that Hols and her friend had chance for a rest and an ice cream refuel before tackling the last part back to the car. We then set off from Castleton back to where we had parked the cars.Īll in all this circular walk was 11.4km and was nicely broken up by the pub lunch. There are amazing views down over the valley on the way up. There is a steep paved path up the side of Mam Tor but it’s a relatively short climb. The route is really well signposted and there was a steady stream of people walking up Mam Tor so it would be really hard to get lost. This turned out to be a great starting point for our Mam Tor walk, as it was at the bottom of the Broken Road.Īfter walking over the Broken Road we headed up the hill past Blue John Cavern. We were due to meet friends there and as luck would have it they couldn’t find it either, and were on the same road as us so we decided to park there in and amongst the wild campers and campervans. We set out to park in the National Trust car park however we couldn’t find it despite the satnav guiding us to the postcode. This was a road which was damaged repeatedly over the years and has since been abandoned to nature. These landslides were responsible for the famous Broken Road which is the former A625. Known as the Mother Hill because its landslides cause there to be lots of baby peaks nearby, it’s also known as The Shivering Mountain, again because of the number of landslides that have taken place over the years.
Mam Tor or the Mother Hill is a peak in the Peak District that stands 517m above sea level. Landslides on Mam Tor above the Broken Road Mam Tor Peak District
