Edale, Kinder Scout and the Dark Peak moorland: a two-day walking weekend in the heart of the Peak District national park. This format combines valley paths, gritstone edges and open moorland at a comfortable pace, separate from single-day Edale walks.
Valley paths below Mam Tor, moorland tracks and edge walks with wide views across the Hope Valley feature across the two days. Your guide plans routes suited to the group and manages safety on exposed sections throughout the weekend.
Edale weekends follow a dedicated two-day programme distinct from single guided day walks in the area. Walks and meeting points are confirmed in advance based on the scheduled weekend format and forecast conditions.
Edale, Hope and Castleton anchor this weekend in the Peak District. Edale village sits at the head of the Hope Valley with direct access to Kinder Scout, while Castleton offers dramatic limestone scenery and cave country nearby.
Overnight stays are your own choice. Edale has pubs, B&Bs and a youth hostel, while Hope and Castleton offer further accommodation within easy reach of the next day's walk.
Two consecutive days on moorland paths call for reasonable fitness. The weekend suits walkers who enjoy full days on varied terrain and want to experience the Dark Peak across back-to-back hill days.
Bring full waterproof kit for exposed Peak District weather. Under-18s must walk with a participating adult who shares responsibility on the hill throughout the weekend.
Indistinct moorland paths in the Peak District are notoriously tricky, especially in poor visibility. We'll guide you across two rewarding days without you needing to navigate the Dark Peak yourself, bringing local knowledge of Kinder, Edale and the Hope Valley to every route choice.
A guided Edale weekend is an ideal way to build confidence on consecutive moorland days. We'll adjust the pace and routes for conditions while keeping the focus on safe, enjoyable walking in outstanding scenery.
