This guidebook is the ideal companion for walkers who want to explore
the western section of Derbyshire's White Peak area. Starting in towns
and villages including Castleton, Ilam, Buxton, Tideswell, Hartington
and Longnor, these day walks are perfectly suited for year-round trips
to the Peak District and are suitable for walkers of all abilities.
Across 40 day walks, this guidebook offers a range of routes that
showcase the best of the Peak District landscape: rolling green hills
rising up to limestone ridges, deep dales with meandering rivers, and
limestone caves and pinnacles. There is plenty of history to explore
too, with many walks visiting historical sites from Neolithic, medieval
and industrial periods.
Most of the walks range between 4 and 9 miles and can be enjoyed in
2-4 hours walking. As several start from the same car park or village,
many walks can be combined for longer days out. Each walk features clear
OS mapping and detailed route description interspersed with insights
into the area's history, geology, art and culture, making this a
brilliant guide for both navigation and learning about the Peak
District.
