We are the New Mills Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Castleton we cross the fields to Odin Mine, ascend the old road to Mam Farm and climb the grassy path, some mud, up to Hollins Cross approx 600ft. We then follow the ridge Black Tor (this is a steep climb up rock steps about 90ft) to Lose Hill. Descending back via the Hope path via Lose Hill Farm, then turning west to Spring House Farm, Losehill Hall and the Study Centre into Castleton.
(This is a reduction in height and length)
We normally stop for a drink after about an hour walking and we stop for lunch at about 12:30 so bring along a hot or cold drink and a packed lunch.
