Mam Tor, Derbyshire
Mam Tor is a 517 m (1,696 ft) hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. Its name means “mother hill”, so called because frequent landslips on its eastern face have resulted in a multitude of ‘mini-hills’ beneath it. These landslips, which are caused by unstable lower layers of shale, also give the hill its alternative name of Shivering Mountain. Mam Tor is near the top of Winnats Pass (a steep and narrow limestone gorge) and forms the eastern end of Rushup Edge. It also dominates the western end of the Great Ridge, which separates the Hope Valley to the south from Edale to the north, and is a popular ridgewalk.
I’ve been walking here since I was a child and first visited in the 1970s as a schoolboy, and now live nearby. I absolutely adore this area, and in the summer love to visit and just wander through the gentle hills and roads.
I usually take my Nikon D40 and 35mm f1.8 DX lens on these walks – it’s light, simple and doesn’t interfere with composition.

I love the deep green of the fields!
