About this deal

I have always found Cicerone guidebooks to be well produced with excellent introductions to the area in question and containing detailed descriptions of well-chosen walks. This new guide is no exception. The wet ground and cold temperatures that come with winter also mean wearing proper hiking boots. Whatever you get, just make it has a good grip and is waterproof! From Higgar, you can see Carl Wark a short distance to the south. The path that takes you there drops down at the southernmost point of the Tor. It’s pretty obvious, unless you are there in fog!

First published in 2004, this is the third edition of Paul Besley's guide of over forty walks covered by the eastern sheet of Ordnance Survey White Peak map OL24. This means no folding, unfolding, flapping or tearing of the map to locate the routes. This Peak District walk allows you to explore one of the most mystical, picturesque, and charming spots in the entire park: Lud’s Church. Kinder Scout doesn’t sound like a tough trek at all —but trust us, it’s quite a challenge. The plateau sits at 636 meters above sea level, making it the highest point not just in the Peak District, but also in Derbyshire and the entire English East Midlands. Within the park itself and its immediate surroundings, there are also plenty of small towns and villages where you can crash. With pubs and bed-and-breakfasts, you’ll get a more local experience and one that feels that much more wholesome.

The park is made up of roughly two sections. The Dark Peak comprises the northern reaches of the park and is generally higher and wilder; the White Peak, on the other hand, is located in the south and is better known for its beautiful valleys and gorges. From the top of this hill, you can see as far as Manchester, Bolton, and all the way to Snowdonia in North Wales. It’s an epic vantage point!

The Inn Way... series of walking guide books by Mark Reid offer an enjoyable and unique approach to discovering the wonderful countryside of England’s North Country ... as well as its wealth of hidden and unspoilt pubs.
