Mam Tor: The Great Ridge Hike, Brutal Winds & Early Starts
★4.7(51)
Arrive at the Mam Tor parking lot before 6 AM or expect to circle for an hour like a total amateur. The Great Ridge hike offers solid valley views, but the summit wind is lethal—bring a heavy jacket. Skip the overpriced tourist-trap Bakewell tarts in town and cycle the Monsal Trail through the abandoned railway tunnels instead. It beats fighting the claustrophobic crowds every single time. Pack your own coffee and ignore the hype.
