Hills of the Peak District

Hills of the Peak District

Some of the hills are well known, Mam Tor, Stanage Edge and the Roaches are very popular and rightly so. Others are less so, Eccles Pike, the Cloud and the Tower are just a few of our favourite examples.

However it the less well known hills, the quieter places, that reflect the true character of the area. To explore all (or many) of these 75 hills will bring a much greater understanding of the Peak District.

Small hidden away villages, the industrial past and quirky little summits and unusual hills will be all part of any journey through the 75.

The author has lived near the area for over 30 years and has walked all these hills, many more than once. He has now taken all 75 hills and brought them together in this superb new book simply titled “The Hills of the Peak District”.

The book details the hills themselves and most importantly the walk to enjoy them best. Some hills can be easily combined in to a single walk, adding to the enjoyment. In the end there are 50 walks to the 75 summits.

The style of the book follow closely the Dales 30 guide book which details the 30 mountains within the Yorkshire Dales. Today there is an ever increasing desire to climb our hills and mountains. Many feel that it is better to have a purpose for a walk. However others just want to explore and discover new places. Without doubt completing the list will bring you to many of the most interesting places in the Peak District, places you would never normally visit.

The book is 144 pages and a handy to use A5 size.
