Short Walks in Derbyshire and the Peak District Guidebook

author: Mathew Ross
This collection of 20 short, circular walks in Derbyshire and the Peak District was put together with families in mind. Perfect for younger and older walkers, and those looking for a brief excursion, the shortest route is just over 1.5 miles and all are under 4 miles.

Explore the woodland, farm fields, reservoirs and, of course, valleys and gorges that make Derbyshire and the Peak District one of the most beautiful and varied places to walk. Fertile plains, limestone dales and rugged moorlands all feature, and there are spectacular views throughout. All walks include parking options, highlights, easy-to-follow numbered directions referenced to coloured maps and suggestions for refreshment stops along the way. A panel at the beginning of each walk chapter gives practical information and there are coloured photographs.
