Synopsis

Experience the Peak District, England’s second most-visited National Park yet still unspoiled and remote, with 28 carefully-chosen walks. Ranging from 3½ to 11¼ miles and graded by length and difficulty, these routes encompass the high, wilderness landscape of the Dark Peak area and the lanes, villages and limestone caves of the White Peak area.
