Description
Book SynopsisDiscover the beauty of the Peak District with this guide to some of the finest walking in the country. Routes include walks beside Dovestone, Ladybower and Redmires reservoirs, the Monsal Trail, and the ancient hillfort of Carl Wak. Explore the Norman-built Peveril Castle at Castleton, the magnificence of Chatsworth House and the beauty of the River Wye that make up the stunning scenery of each walk. You'll also get a chance to savour fantastic views from Minninglow and Edale, and travel along a small part of the Pennine Way. The 20 walks in this book are each centred on a broad variety of good pubs recommended for their food. The circular routes vary in length from 2 to 7 miles. With its hilly outcrops, rolling plains, wooded hillsides and ancient history, the Peak District provides the perfect walking landscape. Jamie Wildgoose has re-walked and updated 20 walks originally devised by his father Charles Wildgoose to produce this pocket-sized guide to the Peak District. Jamie lives near Chesterfield and is a regular walker.
