The Peak District: Leisure Walks for All Ages (Jarrold Short Walks Guides): Leisure Walks for All Ages (Jarrold Short Walks Guides)

"This is definitely the best of the Peak district walking books. Firstly the large scale map indicates where in the Peak District the walk begins; useful for choosing walks close to your location. The books give useful background on the geology or history of the walk you are undertaking. The walks are interesting and scenic and cover a large range of walking ability. All walks are clearly colour coded in three ranges of difficulty to make choosing your challenge easy. The maps of the walks are clear and in colour. Most importantly the descriptions are clear and match the terrain so the ususal confusion of," Which way now?" is avoided. However a compass, whistle, correct clothing and informing someone of your intended route are a must for everyone."

"Excellent series of walk guides under the 8-mile limit, most walks averaging 4-6 miles. Perfect, lightweight guidebooks (by the publisher of the walker's bible 'Pathfinder' series) aimed at those with less time to walk, or who want a more leisurely walk, or who walk with children, or who just want a nice stroll to walk off a pub lunch! Same excellent description of the locale and OS maps for each walk as the Pathfinder series, with the route clearly marked."
