The pass is one of the most phenomenal limestone gorges in the Peaks. There are several theories explaining its formation, including one that it was formed under water during the growth of a reef by a lagoon current. There’s a challenging but satisfying 5-mile hike starting in Castleton, which takes you above Winnats Pass and has truly superb views.
