  • The Edale Circular Walk a Cloudy Day in the Peak District Is Better Than a Sunny Day in the Office
    The Edale circular walk A cloudy day in the Peak District is better than a sunny day in the office. The Edale circular walk is a great walk and takes you via: Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Upperbooth, Jacob’s ladder, Browne Knoll trig point, Rushop edge, Mam Tor, Hollins Cross and then back to Edale. Plan your day for this Edale Circular hike: Start/Parking: I always start at Edale car park. Grid ref 125854 (OS Explorer SL1). Enter S33 7ZA into your Sat Nav. As you reach Hope you should turn onto Edale road, after a few miles you’ll find the car park on the right just before you turn right into Edale village. The last time I visited (Nov 2013) the parking costs were £3.00 for 2 – 4 hours and £5 for over 4 hours - don't forget your £1 coins. Walk summary: I started the walk at 9.30am and got back to the car park at 2pm (4 ½ hours). I stopped a couple of times for a cuppa and a little lunch at Hollins Cross. The walk starts at 231m and the highest point is around 569m. There are a number of stys, rough tracks, steep hill climbs and steep descents - you have to be fit to attempt this walk. Guided walks: We have guides available for this edale circular walk to escort you on your walk. Our guides are very friendly, experienced hill walkers. They are also highly qualified first aiders. Obviously there is a charge for their time; the more there are of you the cheaper it will be.

EDALE: A STUDY OF A PENNINE DALE.1 By C. B. FAWCETT, B.Litt., M.Sc. (With Sketch-Map and Figures.) THE dale marked on the large-scale maps of the High Peak District as the "Vale of Edale" is the high-lying valley along the south- eastern side of the Peak. From the heights above Dalehead to Edale End the valley stretches for nearly five miles in a line from west-south- west to east-north-east. In its widest parts the breadth from crest to crest reaches three miles ; but most of this is moorland, and the width of the habitable portion nowhere exceeds one mile, and averages little more than half that distance. The total area of the civil parish of Edale is eleven square miles, of which the greater part is uncultivated and uninhabited moorland.

Funding for the exercise was provided by ScotRail, with additional in-kind contributions from members of the WHCRP project team. The WHCRP is a newly established community organization covering the West Highland railway corridor from Mallaig to Crianlarich, as well as its hinterland. With an overall aim of working in partnership with the railway industry to make train travel a more attractive option for locals and visitors alike, it commissioned the survey to identify the issues that constrain use of regional rail services. 2 Methodology As discussed and agreed with the WHCRP a two-stage methodology was adopted and used: a paper and web-based survey of local user needs and an ‘offline’ face-to-face survey of tourists.
