	Mam Tor Iron Age fort overlooking Castleton and Hope Valley, Derbyshire
		Mam Tor is an Iron Age fort overlooking Castleton and Hope Valley, Derbyshire.
		The views from the summit of Mam Tor are superb, with a fine view of Edale and Kinder to the north and Hope valley to the east, and a splendid ridge leading from the summit down to Hollins Cross and along to Lose Hill.
		The escarpments around Mam Tor and nearby Lord's Seat and Rushup Edge seem to attract winds at all times and this has led to it becoming the most popular local centre for hang-gliding and paragliding.

		Mam Tor stands guard at the Western end of the Hope Valley, its dramatic landslip showing the 'insides' of what would otherwise be a gently rolling Peak District hill.
		The route was designed to bypass the steep limestone gorge of Winnats Pass, where the one in five gradient was a severe test of a coachman's skill and the strength of the horse team.
		The footpath along the ridge from Mam Tor to Losehill is one of the most popular in the Peak District, providing breathtaking views in every direction, including the Edale Valley, Kinder, the Derwent Moors, Stanage Edge, and the limestone plateau to the south.

	UK Roads - Road Trips - Mam Tor
		Until it was re-routed a couple of years ago, this road had the unique distinction of having 'a bit missing' from its western section at Mam Tor in the Peak District.
		Approaching the Caverns, the road forks in two, which is also where the A-road status ends according to the map: left is Winnats Pass, right is Mam Tor.
		Straight ahead, where the light-coloured rubble on the outside of the bend is, is the gate across the road.

	Castleton to Edale
		Mam Tor is a prime site for hang gliding, and you will rarely come up here in the hours of daylight without seeing at least one gaily coloured canopy riding the thermals nearby.
		Mam Tor lies at the western end of a delightful ridge route approaching three miles in length, falling to the col of Hollins Cross (where seven footpaths converge) and then rising again to the curious eminence of Black Tor and finally Lose Hill.
		The 1696ft summit of Mam Tor is technically part of the Kinder massif, ultimately connected to it via a long horseshoe around the head of the Hope valley, it explains why the Tor fails to appear in any summit-baggers' list such as the Marylins.

	Peak District
		Nearby Castleton was visited by Charlotte Brontë, and the region is thought to have inspired the countryside around Thornfield in Jane Eyre (I was amused to note the high frequency of the name Eyre upon the graves in the Edale churchyard).
		Mam Tor and Kinder Scout are "peaks" (in reality scarcely higher than the surrounding land) on opposite sides of the valley in which Edale is located, and have quite different characters -- Mam Tor is green and rolling, while Kinder Scout is covered with rugged moorland.
		The next four photographs were taken near the Edale youth hostel, looking towards the Mam Tor side of the valley.

	PDNP: People/ Castleton/ Mam tor
		This is Mam Tor or the ‘Mother Mountain’, which dominates the landscape at the head of the Hope Valley.
		The layering of gritstone and shale has produced a mountain that is very unstable and is extremely liable to subsidence.
		It is for this reason that periodically Mam Tor ‘shivers’ and ‘bears fruit’ giving rise to numerous landslips that are dotted around the hillside.

	COMICON.com: BRISTOL CON: THE MAM TOR PANEL

		We were introduced to another Mam Tor project: Worry Doll, a Tasmanian, psychological horror book that has taken its author three years to write and draw, because he has made every image photographically realistic using only pen and ink.
		Now Mam Tor is toying with the idea of putting a PDF version of that first book out for a couple of dollars, with extra stuff in it, such as downloadable songs and pictures attached to it, podcasts, and things like that.

		From the tumulus the remains of the fortifications of Mam Tor can be seen in the distance to the east.

		Mam Tor is also known as "The Shivering Mountain" - its layers of grit and shale become unstable after rainstorms and landslips are common.

	Information and photographs - Mam Tor
		At its feet lies the crushed and splintered A625, which was once the main road between Stockport and Sheffield until Mam Tor shivered in 1974 and the road was closed.
		People of the Iron Age probably noted its symbology, and made Mam Tor the protective military and commercial centre for the southernmost reaches of the tribe Brigantes.
		Though their fortifications of palisaded ramparts, and the foundations of many Celtic hut circles can still be seen, they were not the first to occupy this hill; the modern trig point stands on the remains of a Bronze Age barrow, and an axe-head dated from that early period has also been found there.

		The view is towards the East; Mam Tor is behind the camera, to the South-West.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Interviews \| Art \| Liam Sharp
		While doing the convention circuits, he got in touch with a lot of like-minded artists and writers (both established names, and budding professionals) who couldn't find venues to publish their stories, because they're too subversive, not mainstream enough...
		And this is where Mam Tor was really born.
		Armed with a ton of new, and more importantly, fresh material, a couple of established creators who came along for the ride (and myself taking on design duties), Mam Tor set out to publish its inaugural title, Event Horizon: an anthology series, which is best described as "Punk Rock on a page".

	SABRE - Forums - View topic - Mam Tor in 1979
		There had been problems with Mam Tor for some years on and off, and the road had been closed, or had been single track, over this section on several occasions.
		A major landslide in the late seventies proved to be the final straw for the long-suffering local roads authority, and it was decided to close the road permanently rather than repair it.
		Reading all the accounts of Mam Tor while it was open, it seems scarily similar to what's happened on the A174 at Loftus Bank, here.
