Viewed from a satellite at night, the Peak District National Park appears as an island of darkness, surrounded by the streetlights of northern England’s industrial cities. From these cities come many of the park’s visitors, drawn to one of the most loved and most visited National Parks in the world, often treating it as their own personal playground. This book guides you to 111 Places in the Peak District That You Shouldn’t Miss and includes 11 carefully selected walks to help you explore them on foot. Alongside familiar highlights, it uncovers offbeat, surprising and unusual sites that even regular visitors may have overlooked or never heard of. From the gentle limestone dales of the White Peak to the dramatic edges and rugged moorland of the gritstone Dark Peak, the scenery is wonderfully varied. Stone-built villages, prehistoric remains and traces of early industry add further depth. Join us as we explore the lesser-known corners of Britain’s original National Park in the expert company of the man known as Mr Peak District.
Roly Smith was known as “Mr Peak District” when he was Head of Information Services for the Peak District National Park. The author of over 90 books on the Peak District and Britain, he was recently described as one of Britain’s most respected and knowledgeable countryside writers. Chris Gilbert is a professional photographer, photography teacher and illustrator. He lives in the small village of Cressbrook in the middle of the Peak District National park in the UK. He bought his first SLR camera with his first pay cheque in 1981 and has been taking photographs ever since. His work features regularly in local magazines and publications and he has been working closely with the Peak District National Park Authority since 2014 to promote the area's qualities and help visitors.
