The Peak Districts landscape varies dramatically, with plenty of places of interest such as Chatsworth House near Bakewell, the plague village of Eyam, the Victorian spa town of Matlock Bath, historic Lyme Park and Holmfirth setting for TV’s Last of the Summer Wine. This guide contains routes through the White Peak area of the south, with pastoral countryside criss-crossed by drystone walling and scattered with idyllic villages such as Ashford in the Water, and more challenging walks in the rugged Dark Peak of the north, characterised by distinctive gritstone edges.
