Description
Short walks in the heart of the Peak District.
Edale and the Hope Valley offer a concentrated selection of valley paths, villages, and open heights. This guide helps you experience the area through 15 walks suitable for a varied holiday. Choose a gentle valley stroll or a shorter hike with more ascent and the reward of expansive views.
15 routes with OS maps.
Andrew McCloy pairs clear descriptions with easy-to-read maps and photographs. The walks cover various terrain types, from gentle valley floor paths to steep and more rocky slopes. The information facilitates selection based on experience, fitness, and weather, helping you decide how much of the day to spend outdoors.
Villages and practical information.
Edale, Hope, Castleton, Hathersage, Bamford, and Eyam are among the locations providing access to the selection. The book also includes details on parking, transport, facilities, and refreshment stops. This makes it useful for combining nature with a meal or a visit to one of the local villages.
Who is this book for?
The guide is suitable for regular walkers seeking short routes without carrying an extensive reference work. Some walks feature steep ascents and require sturdy footwear and reasonable fitness. Spring blossoms, summer views, and autumn heather and woodland colors offer varied experiences. Route selection should always consider the terrain and current conditions.
A long tradition of guidebooks.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers wishing to share thorough knowledge of their routes—a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
