There just isn`t a bad time to walk in the Peak District, each season offers something new. The twenty circular walks in this book vary in length from 2 to 8 miles & are enjoyable all year round. The author has divided the routes into seasons to show each at its very best. In spring, the fields around Monyash are golden with cowslips & the woods near Hayfield are a sea of bluebells. On a fine day in summer there are wonderful views over the hilltops & the moorland around Edale is violet with heather. Autumn brings colour to the Tissington Trail & the reservoirs near Holme are a splendid place to see migrant birds. To appreciate the special atmosphere of the Derwent Valley you should visit in winter. All the walks include details of:* How to get to the start * Where to park* Numbered route map & directions* Distance & terrain* Recommended local pubs & cafes * Points of interest along the way Whenever you manage to pay a visit to the nation`s oldest national park, you`ll be rewarded with stunning scenery & some excellent pubs in its quaint villages. Peter Naldrett lives in Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District, & is a geography teacher & journalist. He writes regularly for magazines & is the author or a number of successful walking books including Derbyshire & the Peak District
