Many people had parked their cars on the roadside, but I parked my car in the official National Trust car park (Mam Tor Car Park). I woke up early in the morning to avoid the crowdedness of the “weekenders,” which was a wise decision.ĭespite the ups & downs, twists & turns, the road trip to the base of the peak was scenic and mesmerizing.
I used to think that the hike was going to be taxing, so I kept putting it off, but the last weekend, I finally decided to climb Mother Hill & it was the most rewarding hike in the UK. Since I started living in the UK, friends kept telling me to visit the Peak District, and since it’s so vast, I used to visit a part of it at every opportunity I got! Mam Tor had been on my list for a long time. (Do not forget to download Mam Tor Walk Map)įor your convenience, you will find a link for the map at the end of the article.
