Walking in the Peak District

Mam Tor and Losehill are both near Castleton, famous for its caves and Blue John (fluospar), unique to this area.
Mam Tor itself has a well marked path from the National Trust car park, Losehill has footpaths from Castleton itself and from Hope with access also along the road between the two.
There are a number of walks in the area of varying lengths such as Mam Tor and Cavedale.

Walking in the Cotswolds

Broadway Tower is the second highest point on the Cotswold Ridge at 312mt/1024ft above sea level. There are well signed footpaths out of Broadway village, but to take the correct route to the tower a guide or map is advisable. (Downloadable guide) The paths link to the Cotswold Way with most following a route round below the tower. There are stone stiles and the path is steep in places but it is well worth the climb. On a clear day the view from the top would be marvellous. We walked about 10km/6miles including walking into Broadway, up to the Tower and back again. From Broadway itself the distance is about 8km/5miles.
