Of all of the hills to choose from in the Peak District, Mam Tor has become strangely popular in recent years.

So why has Mam Tor become so popular, when there are loads of areas to explore in the Peak District?

There were 77 callouts in 2024 - the highest number out of anywhere in the Peak District.

To put this into context, there were only 50 callouts to Kinder Scout, which is the highest point in the Peak District and much more challenging to hike.

Concerns are so high that the National Trust is currently working with the Peak District National Park Authority, Derbyshire County Council, Derbyshire Police and High Peak MP Jon Pearce, to come up with a plan to reduce the impact of visitors.
