Review:

Publisher's website 2018

This attractive pocket size book will take you on short circular walks to the ten finest rocks and edges in the Peak District.

Surprisingly for newcomers, the Peak District is almost devoid of anything resembling a traditional mountain peak (the name instead derives from the Old English paec, merely meaning ?hill?). In reality, The Peak is a high, sloping plateau, cleft by deep valleys and winding ravines.

In compensation, however, there are long runs of startlingly dramatic cliffs ? here known as edges ? and spectacularly weathered outcrops of rock, often referred to as tors. For rock climbers, they offer some of England?s finest challenges, while for walkers the views from the escarpments? rims can be unforgettable.
