The author has chosen walks that are spread throughout the county from Melbourne
in the south to Eckington in the north; Ashbourne in the west and
Bolsover in the east. The walks take in reservoirs, country parks,
stately homes and town which offer walkers the opportunity to discover
hidden gems in the places that Peak District walking books don’t cover.
Describing the local area at the start of each walk, Carol then provides
a detailed description of the walk with snippets of information as you
go along. The majority of the walks are suitable for family groups or
the ‘occasional’ rambler with most distances ranging from 2½ miles to 6
miles, although Carol has thrown in an 8 mile walk based in Chesterfield
for the more adventurous walkers. A history lesson with exercise thrown
in!
Including Ordnance Survey mapping and useful pre-walk information, Walks
for all Season - 20 Circular Walks in Derbyshire is superbly priced at
