Description
The bright limestone landscape of the Peak District.
The White Peak is a landscape of green pastures, dry-stone walls, and distinct valleys. With Bakewell as a natural starting point, the book shows how you can experience the area on short walks. Here you get landscape, village life, and traces of history without dedicating the whole day to a single trip.
Fifteen walks that fit into your holiday.
The selection consists of short circular walks, mainly intended for less than three hours of walking. The routes pass through limestone dales and along rivers, with stopping points that make the excursions varied. The book provides a good basis for finding a walk that suits your time and your group.
Maps, directions, and useful details.
Each walk is presented with Ordnance Survey maps and descriptions that help you through junctions, paths, and open fields. Practical information about parking, transport, and refreshments makes planning easier. Photos and information on sights also provide an indication of what to look for along the way.
From valleys to historical sites.
Monsal Dale, Cressbrook Dale, Chatsworth, and Eyam provide different perspectives on the area. The guide is suitable for visitors who want short walks rather than long days in the hills, and for locals who want to find new detours. Ground conditions and weather should still be taken into account when choosing the day’s walk.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
