Roger Redfern paints a broad canvas to include areas beyond the heart of Peakland, as well as the heart of the region, and gives clear instructions to guide the user. Introductory chapters describe areas well loved and known by the author. Sixteen routes follow, punctuated with fascinating points of interest along the route - standing stones, springs, cruck barns and chapels. This is a guide for those who are prepared, and like, to use their legs to achieve the thrill and satisfaction of discovery. The routes vary in length and difficulty and in type of country covered to suit all moods and abilities, from 6-mile walks through pastoral country to 42 miles over the wildest uplands. Dovedale, Monsal dale and Kinder Scout are justly famous, but they are but a small fraction of these southern Pennines.
