This is an alternative collection of walks! 30 walks explore less well-known parts of the dramatic Dark Peak landscape of the Peak District. Wander freely over the moors - includes walks on the new 'Right to Roam' parts of the Dark Peak and traditional open access areas. Scramble up rocky gullies - an opportunity to be more adventurous. It features dramatic landscape - steep slopes, gritstone crags, wide exposed moorland, tumbling rivers and photogenic reservoirs. Use and improve your navigational skills - locate aircraft wrecks, memorials, Bronze-Age barrows, Iron Age forts and remnants of an industrial past. This title contains accurate map references - advantageous to today's GPS (Global Positioning System) users. It is divided into five sections - Kinder Scout, Bleaklow, Black Hill, Eastern moors, and a section containing two longer walks. It also provides lots of helpful information - each walk includes a starting point, distance and estimated time, a general description including level of difficulty, and a very detailed route description.
