Train it like the trespassers
Parking is very limited in and around the area of Edale, we therefore urge people to be kinder to the environment and the local communities by using the train that drops you off at the start of the trail. There is an hourly service every day to Edale on the Manchester-Sheffield line, hop off at Edale train station and explore the trail on foot, discovering artistic interpretations along the way. The significance of arriving by train echoes back to the 24th of April in 1932 when three groups set out to trespass on Kinder Scout, approaching from different directions.

Using public transport has many positive benefits but most importantly it is a great way to reduce your carbon emissions and to help generate cleaner air for everyone. Be our Nature Champions this summer and share your photos of you travelling to our Peak District areas using public transport on our social media channels: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @peakdistrictNT and use #naturechampions
For those that find it easier to travel by bus, our friends over at the Peak District National Park have teamed up with Stagecoach to organise the Hope Valley Explorer - a seasonal bus service launching on Sunday 21st July. The positive new partnership hopes to encourage people to enjoy using public transport that is better for the environment and the local communities.
