Peak District - Short Walks

by: Dennis and Jan Kelsall
This pocket guide provides great short walks for all the family to enjoy the Peak District. Ideal walks for families, these scenic routes range from gentler rambles for newcomers to country walking in Chatsworth Park and along the Tissington Trail to more energetic walks to Thor's Cave and the Dark Peak moorland above Edale.

Features include clear and easy to follow instructions; detailed full colour Ordnance Survey Explorer mapping with the route clearly highlighted, and specially commissioned colour photographs. There are twenty routes to choose from, colour coded by length and difficulty; green for easy; blue for modest length with some climbing and red for more challenging walks, possibly with stiff climbs. There are notes on where to park, good pubs and places of interest en route plus a children's quiz question for each walk.
