Rescuers say the hiker 'slipped and tumbled a distance', suffering a serious head injury
A walker has died after slipping on a footpath at a beauty spot.
Edale Mountain Rescue Team said a hiker fell above Derbyshire's Speedwell Cavern at about 19:00 BST on Saturday. "A group of friends visiting the area for the weekend were making their way off the hill when one slipped and tumbled a distance," the team said.

They did not give any further details about the walker, but offered the team's "condolences to the family and friends of those involved".
