  • The Vale of Edale, Mam Tor and Win Hill
    The Vale of Edale, Mam Tor and Win Hill A weekend walking adventure for London-based hikers 1 of 23 www.londonhiker.com Introduction Edale in the Peak District is one of the classic British walking locations. From here the grassy, green White Peak (so called for its limestone) visibly morphs into the brooding, atmospheric, peaty and wild Dark Peak. The area has been popular with hikers from nearby Manchester and Sheffield for decades and the mass trespass on Kinder Scout, one of the key battles leading to 'rights of way' for walkers, took place here. This weekend takes a tour of the vale of Edale and you will get a fantastic taster of what this stunning location has to offer. With Edale only 3 hours or less from London by train, what are you waiting for? Summary You'll travel up to Edale via either Manchester or Sheffield (see the travel section for more details). On Day 1 you will spend the day on the ridge that dominates the scenery around here; climbing to Lose Hill and along to Mam Tor, and finishing back in Edale. On Day 2 you will hike up onto Kinder Scout and walk along its edge for a short way, before following a Roman road to the summit of Win Hill. You will descend to Bamford to catch your train home. Example itinerary This is an example! Do not rely on the times below - always check current times before planning your trip!
