This collection of 20 short, circular walks in Derbyshire and the Peak District was put together with families in mind. Perfect for younger and older walkers, and those looking for a brief excursion, the shortest route is just over 11/2 miles and all are under 4 miles.Explore the woodland, farm fields, reservoirs and, of course, valleys and gorges that make Derbyshire and the Peak District one of the most beautiful and varied places to walk. Fertile plains, limestone dales and rugged moorlands all feature, and there are spectacular views throughout. All walks include parking options, highlights, easy-to-follow numbered directions and suggestions for refreshment stops along the way.

The home of Heathcliffe and Nora Batty, the wild and wuthering South Pennines is where Yorkshire and Lancashire collide, a watershed landscape of great natural beauty which is home to proud and welcoming communities with a heritage of rugged farming and industrial hard graft. This collection of forty walks explores the steep-sided valleys, heather moorlands, craggy hills and gritsone villages which have inspired and attracted writers and artists for generations to this unspoilt upland haven just a stone's throw from some of northern England's largest towns and cities.
