Edale is a great location to start many walks, in fact, you are spoilt for choice! This short walk from Edale takes you up one of the quieter routes via Ollerbrook, still with fantastic views of the Great Ridge and Kinder Plateau, but less popular than routes such as Jacob’s Ladder. Once you reach the […]

Although this is a short route, there are several sections which have challenging terrain, including one scramble section. You can avoid this by simply returning the same route from the Trinnacles but please read the ‘Other Information’ section […]

A lovely 8-mile route that takes you on a circular walk from Hartington village. The route takes you via the old site of Pilsbury Castle, here you can see the earthworks of the motte and bailey castle, built partly on a limestone knoll which no doubt offered more protection! You can see an interesting artistic […]
