This handy, hardback pocket guide to the mainly gritstone eastern fringes of the Peak District National Park makes a grand companion for anyone interested in exploring the area on foot.

The ten routes described range in length from a modest 3.25 miles (6 kms) to 8.5 miles (13.5 kms).

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 routes cover a broad canvas and are ideal for families and groups of friends, from the wild moorlands around Langsett, Back Tor and Derwent Edge to the wooded confines of Ewden Dale; the reservoirs in delightful Bradfield Dale; crossing the River Derwent and exploring parts of the Eastern Edges. The ten walks are: Langsett and the Porter Valley; The Best of Ewden Dale; On Foot in Bradfield Dale; Wyming Brook and Redmires; Along the Duke of Norfolk’s Road; Back Tor and the Delights of Derwent Edge; Double Crossing of the River Derwent; The Steep Way to Stanage; AlongTwo Eastern Edges; On the Edge of the Moors.

Halsgrove’s small-format guidebook will ensure a great walking experience and is an ideal reminder of a visit to the Peak District.
