Book Description
A completely revised and updated edition of one of our first-ever pub-walk guides and still one of the most authoritative. The White Peak area of the Peak District offers a superb variety of walks and this book provides the added bonus of visits to welcoming Peak District pubs, many of which offer Real Ale from local independent brewers.
The 30 walks range from 3 to 9 miles. They start in such delightful Peak District villages as Ashford-in-the Water, Alstonefield and Youlgreave and for many of them you don't need a car: local buses and trains ensure that you can savour the the beers on offer without risk to your licence! Many local attractions are featured, including the National Tramway Museum, the Magpie Mine and the National Stone Centre.
Les Lumsdon is Professor of Tourism at the University of Central Lancashire and Martin Smith is a Transport Planner with Derbyshire County Council.
