About this deal

There’s no shortage of beautiful views in Peak District National Park. Narrowing down the best hike for views in the Peak District is definitely not easy, but Mam Tor has to be our #1 contender.

The latest book by acclaimed rambling scribe Mark Reid, it once again draws upon his extensive knowledge of the North Country's footpaths, historic villages and premiership boozers."

We’ve carefully curated some of our favorite trails in this British national park, to make sure there’s something for just about every hiking ability. There are short strolls, bracing hill walks, mystical moorland adventures, and challenging multi-day treks. 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. The Inn Way - the Ultimate Pub Walks Some of the tougher treks might require some more specialized gear, but mostly the walks in Peak District require just a basic kit that’ll keep you safe and happy. Personally, I prefer walking the path at the top of the Edge. This passes a gloomy looking quarry with some impressive and difficult climbs. If you have youngsters with you, please make sure that they are safe, particularly at the quarry, the ground at the top of the quarry walls is crumbly and loose in places, also slippery when wet. Dog Friendliness: Mostly open sheep country subject to access agreements; dogs should be kept on lead or under close control at all times

Before you set off on your epic journey, take a moment to read through some of our tips and helpful safety advice: Get your ass insured –It’s better to be safe than sorry —you’ve probably heard that from mom a few times. If you want to enjoy all the walks in Peak District without worrying too much, consider covering up with a solid travel insurance policy for the trip. Each walk entry begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time, terrain, parking and public transport access where available. Clear route-finding instructions are provided together with simple overview coloured sketch maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also provided. The text also includes brief notes on features of interest along the way and there are colour photographs throughout. Walking is one of Britain's favourite leisure activities, and this guide to the Peak District features 50 mapped walks from 2 to 10 miles, to suit all abilities. Always plan ahead –Make sure you know what challenges might lay ahead of you.Take some time to study your walk in Peak District, stay alert to the notoriously changeable UK weather, and give yourself enough time to complete the trail safely.Derbyshire County Council closed this path in May 2022 until at least April 2025. Motor vehicles are no longer allowed on that section of road. In view of the length of time and the precarious situation I have completely revised that section of the walk. In fact, Peak District was the UK’s first-ever national park, designated as such in 1951. The place was the stage of a famous mass protest in 1932, against the prohibition of hiking in its free open land. This Pathfinder Guide makes the ideal companion for country walks throughout the Peak District. Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale maps and specially commissioned photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations.

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! This guidebook provides 35 day walks and 7 longer walks and trails exploring the eastern section of Derbyshire's limestone area. The walks are spread across the area, starting in pleasant towns and villages including Bakewell, Tissington, Eyam and Middleton. Largely travelling along well-marked paths over gentle rolling landscapes, these walks are suitable for walkers of all abilities.The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Each walk entry begins with a box giving start, distance, height gain, time, parking and route terrain. This is followed by a short overview highlighting the routes features. The main route finding instructions have paragraphs numbered corresponding to numbers on the OS map making navigation safe and easy. There are GPS references for all the route waypoints and the route is highlighted in yellow on the map. The guide also includes information on where to park, good pubs and places of interest along the route.

Airbnbs dotted around the area do the same. Granted, you may not get to stay in an old English pub (and get the benefits that come with that), but you do get more freedom to come and go as you want. 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. From the estate’s visitor center, you’ll follow a path down towards a pond and an old barn. From there, the charming path runs downhill to a bridge that crosses Burbage Brook to the entrance of Hollowgate.

Peak District Year Round Walks Guidebook

As you would expect from Cicerone, each walk is clearly detailed including distance, terrain and local points of interest. Some walks are easy, some more challenging, providing a range of difficulties for all. Trails here are well kept but do get muddy after rain, and that’s something the Peak District gets a lot of… UK weather, baby! Woo! Try to visit during summer or late spring, where temperatures will probably go around 20ºC.
