Description
The eastern part of the limestone landscape.
The White Peak is the southern part of the Peak District, known for its dales, stone walls, and distinct cultural heritage. This volume focuses on the eastern part of the area. Bakewell, Matlock, and Eyam are among the key locations, and the book provides a wide selection for those wishing to experience more than just the most famous valleys or villages during their stay.
Day walks and longer trails in a single volume.
The selection consists of 35 day walks and seven longer routes. The Monsal Trail, Tissington Trail, and White Peak Circular are among the options. This makes the guide flexible for different types of holidays: you can walk from a fixed base, plan a larger continuous trek, or choose longer connections as a change of pace between shorter excursions in the area.
Maps and practical information for planning.
Route descriptions and maps provide support along the way, while information on starting points and logistics helps you compare alternatives. GPX files from the publisher can be used as a digital supplement. The book thus provides both a comprehensive overview of hiking opportunities in eastern White Peak and details useful for coordinating the day’s route with transport, accommodation, and other travel plans.
A wide selection of walks with varying daily requirements.
Quiet trail connections, dales, and longer treks each have a different character, even within the same area. Length, ascent, and terrain should be assessed based on the group’s experience and current conditions. The guide is suitable for regular hikers seeking multiple options and wishing to vary their walks throughout a stay, with time for nature, villages, and historical sites along the way through this landscape.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged from a community of climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
