Hope has a railway station on the Sheffield to Manchester (Hope Valley) line with services provided by the rail company Northern (in 2017). A main road, the old A625 followed the route of the Sheffield & Chapel-en-le-Frith Turnpike Company's road of 1802 through the village and then over Little Mam Tor. The old truncated section of the A625 to Castleton has been re-designated as the A6187 after the Mam Tor section of the road was closed to all traffic in 1979 following one of many landslips.
