Some folk prefer easy walks, & sometimes there`s just not time for an all-day trek. In either case, this is definitely a book to keep on your bookshelf. Norman Buckley has already had considerable success with ” On The Level” books for the Lake District & the Yorkshire Dales
- with each title in the series reprinted several times. The walks are ideal for family outings & the precise instructions ensure that there`s little chance of losing your way. Well-produced maps encourage everybody to try out the walks
- all of which are well scattered across the Peak District. One point of particular interest is that, by keeping to the valleys & gently sloping hills, you`re almost certain to have more impressive views of the surrounding hills than by standing on top of them! So photographers will find this to be an invaluable source of ideas
- & they are certain to be inspired by Norman`s excellent pictures.
