Mam Tor, Hill summit in Edale, England.
Mam Tor reaches 517 meters in elevation and features limestone formations with multiple paths leading to its peak through the Peak District landscape.
The hill contains remains of an Iron Age fort, with archaeological evidence indicating continuous human presence since prehistoric times through discovered burial mounds.
Local inhabitants named it Mother Hill due to the geological process where landslides from the main hill created smaller mounds in the surrounding area.
The circular walking trail spans 4.8 kilometers and takes approximately two hours to complete, with parking available at Mam Nick car park.
The geological composition of shale and limestone creates ongoing erosion patterns, resulting in continuous changes to the hill's surface structure.
