As I recall there may be a couple of stiles further along the ridge towards Back Tor and Lose Hill, but the initial climb to Mam Tor and a fair bit of the ridge should be fine.

Hi John, I would keep your dog in a lead as there are steep cliffs on ether side of what is a ridge way. Hope that helps Steve

😂😂😂😂 this time I should get it right BUXTON!

Yes. You can start in Castleton, walk up the Limestone Way (around the back of the castle); across to Mam Tor, along the ridge to Losehill, then back down to Castleton. There are lots and lots of variations. You could start from other points, too.

About a half mile from Mam Tor is the Blue John Cavern, the post code for this place is S33 8WA. There is a car park nearby. (and café) The car park is immediately below Mam Tor

Depending on whether , has numerous steps up from car park too, really depends on how much they like walking . Don't advise walking up in windy conditions!

Go out of Castleton up Winnats Pass....turn right....round the left hand bend....car park on the right I seem to recall.

There is a good path though it is a bit rustic in places. It is a quite strenuous climb with Mam Tor rising to 1700ft (500+m) and I would guess that it could be a challenge with a buggy - especially if the weather turns bad. There is a car park that you could start from. I didn't see any buggies when I did the walk and it was a popular day. Some parents carried small children in rucksack-type carriers.

I have only just seen this question and you've no doubt had your trip to Mam Tor. However, I'll post an answer because it may help others. First of all, there are a number of routes between Edale and Hope, not all taking in Mam Tor. 6miles seems about right but that's not all on mountain - you would be going up and down. Whether it takes 3 hours or more or less will depend on your level of fitness and the weather (It can change very quickly there). I would not advise going alone as a beginner, experience is important and many people underestimate even well trodden routes. Have the right equipment ( footwear, wet weather gear, map and compass), and ensure that you have physically prepared for the trip. Having said that, this is a lovely area for walking and the views when you are up there are fantastic.

Peak district is a bit difficult to access without a car and takes longer than 2-3 hours. I think Surrey hills or Eastbourne could be easier options.
