The Western Peak - 10 Leisure Walks

by: Roger Redfern
This handy, hardback pocket guide to the western margins of the Peak District National Park makes a great companion for anyone intending to explore the area on foot. The ten routes described range in length from a modest 2 miles to a more challenging 10 miles. Plenty of captioned colour photographs by the author give a flavour of each route and panels give additional interesting detail about geographical features and historical associations.

The ten routes cover a broad canvas and are ideal for families and groups of friends, from high moorlands overlooking Greater Manchester in the north-west to the expansive parkland of Lyme Hall; the recesses of the Goyt Valley and sharp crest of Kerridge Hill; the magnificent viewpoints of Shutlingsloe and the Roaches; the secret corners of the Dane Valley and the southernmost tip of the National Park.
