This book by Alan Bradley guides walkers through Derbyshire and the Peak District, taking in the best scenery - but not taking all day. The Peak District is probably the most popular of Britain's National Parks, lying close to several large cities and yet consisting of unspoilt countryside. The book describes thirty walks. All are in the three to five miles range, but for each walk there are longer or shorter alternatives. The routes are described in detail, and a clear sketch map helps you to relate each route to the OS map.
Most walkers come to their starting point by car, and safe parking places are indicated.
There are no rail services in this part of the Peak, but useful bus services are shown. All the walks can conveniently be done in half a day, so details of pubs and cafes for a mid-day meal are given and places of interest along the route are mentioned. The author has avoided duplicating walks that are described in the most popular books on the area, so this book aims to supplement rather than compete with existing books. This book is for everyone who enjoys walking in the Peak District but, for various reasons, are limited to fairly short walks. All the walks included range from three to five miles, but with alternative routes provided.
