Full description:
Starting in the same place as a recent walk I lead but heading in completely the opposite direction. Please note there is a fair amount of ascent on this walk. We begin at Castleton Visitor Centre and head up Hollins Cross, before descending into Edale. There is a cafe in Edale where we can stop for coffee, tea, cake, ice cream etc. We then head over Back Tor and Lose Hill, before making our way down into Hope. Then it’s plain sailing back into Castleton.
Public transport or car sharing options:
Public Transport: For those catching public transport, the 272 bus leaves Sheffield Interchange Station D2 at 10.05am and arrives in Castleton at 11.01am. Please check the bus times yourself, as they can change.
Drivers: You can park in Castleton’s Visitor Centre or there are other parking options nearby. Please car share where possible.
