This was one of my favourite walks in the peak district.Getting the Sheffield to Manchester train along the Hope valley line and getting off at Hope station.It is then a short walk up to Lose hill and along the edges to Mam Tor.From there its a descend and through Winnats pass and to Castleton and back to Hope again.
Just had time to nip outside Sheffield station and take pictures of the rather extravagant water sculpture.
Lose Hill.A short distance north of Hope.
Back Tor which is half way between Lose hill and Mam Tor
Mam Tor
Winnats pass.I ended up crossing the fields coming down from Mam Tor and walking along the right edge of Winnats pass back to Castleton.The footpath down was very steep,slippery and turned into a stream at one point so is not recommended as it was quite dangerous.Much better to follow the road to Castleton along the bottom of the pass.
On the way back I visited Castleton parish church
