Product Description
Review
"The generous number of colour photographs and maps deserves special mention, as does the ease of flicking to different chapters by means of coloured and 'tabbed' page margins. Anyone staying in the area will find this book an invaluable guide" - Peak Advertiser "The whole book is richly laced with historical information and interesting snippets" - Derbyshire Times "This book strays far beyond the busier towns and villages visiting beautiful tiny hamlets, the whole region is served very well" - Peak Advertiser
Product Description
The Peak District National Park lies at the southern end of the Pennines between Sheffield and Manchester and was the first National Park to be set up in Britain in 1951. Although mostly contained within the county of Derbyshire it does in fact cover parts of six counties. It covers an area of around 540 square miles. The north of the park is a region of high moorland and towering plateaux that rise 2088 feet above sea level whilst further south are the Derbyshire Dales where the area becomes less wild and isolated and where two main rivers, the Wye and the Derwent, flow. These rivers were once heavily populated with industrial shipping traffic and along their banks may be found many interesting towns and villages. Derbyshire is a county blessed with a beautiful heritage, particularly to the south in and around the larger conurbations such as Derby.
