About

Mam Tor is a mountain in east midlands. (Hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Mam Tor is a 517 m (1,696 ft) hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. Its name means 'mother hill', so called because frequent landslips on its eastern face have resulted in a multitude of 'mini-hills' beneath it. These landslips, which are caused by unstable lower layers of shale, also give the hill its alternative name of Shivering Mountain."
