"The Great Ridge" is a name given to the Lose Hill, Back Tor, Mam Tor ridge that dominates the westerly part of the Hope Valley. This route climbs the ridge at the eastern edge and follows around the Castleton skyline going initially to Mam Tor and then down into Limestone country, through the fields, and finally down Cave Dale back to Castleton itself.
