Peak District (Top 10 walks): The finest walks in the Peak District National Park (UK National Parks: Top 10 Walks)

Product Information

I get a frisson of excitement whenever I spot one of the Society's signposts in a walking book. Paul Besley is clearly appreciative of PNFS's efforts in keeping a "watchful eye on the footpaths" and its signposts, and one of his routes takes the walker past S456. You’ll be starting alongside the scenic River Dane. Following downstream past Gradbach Mill, you’ll then be walking the public footpath, close to the river and through some green meadows. Eventually, you’ll reach Lud’s Church itself.

The only thing you need is to decide which ones are best for you. Uncover 28 beautiful circular walks around the Peak District with the OS Pathfinder Guidebooks, graded by length and ranging from 3 ½ to 11 ¼ miles. At the top of the Hollowgate, there’s a natural tower of boulders called Owl Tor, which is a pretty good spot to chill for a minute.You start at the Longshaw Estate, and shortly after you’ll be heading out into the countryside on this well-marked trail. You’ll pass a charming area of woodlands on Froggatt Edge, that gives the trail an extra fantasy touch. A word of caution: do not underestimate the area. Walking on the high moors – Bleaklow, Kinder Scout, Derwent and Howden – requires excellent navigation skills, especially in winter. It also requires good equipment and a knowledge of how to use it, and clothing that is appropriate to the time of year. The use of walking poles when crossing moorland can be helpful for maintaining balance and forward motion. They can also be useful when descending some of the steeper sections of the walks. First published in 2004, this is the third edition of Paul Besley's guide of over forty walks covered by the eastern sheet of Ordnance Survey White Peak map OL24. This means no folding, unfolding, flapping or tearing of the map to locate the routes. But that doesn’t mean you should just hotfoot it off on a hike without thinking twice. The Peak District is a wild environment, so it pays to know what you should expect and what you should prepare in advance.

Derbyshire and the Peak District Dog Friendly Pub Walks Guidebook

Within the park itself and its immediate surroundings, there are also plenty of small towns and villages where you can crash. With pubs and bed-and-breakfasts, you’ll get a more local experience and one that feels that much more wholesome. The wet ground and cold temperatures that come with winter also mean wearing proper hiking boots. Whatever you get, just make it has a good grip and is waterproof! The park is made up of roughly two sections. The Dark Peak comprises the northern reaches of the park and is generally higher and wilder; the White Peak, on the other hand, is located in the south and is better known for its beautiful valleys and gorges. Mam Tor, meaning “Mother Hill,” is located in the High Peak area and stands at 517 meters above sea level.
