Mam Tor (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mam Tor is a 517 m hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. Its name literally translates as Heights of the Mother and it is also known as the Shivering Mountain on account of the instability of its lower shale layers. Indeed, in 1979 the continual battle to maintain the A625 road on the crumbling southern side of the hill was lost when the road officially closed as a through-route.
