The 32 routes are grouped into five regions, covering the diverse landscapes of the Dark Peak and White Peak. Each route includes 1:40,000-scale maps and elevation profiles, turn-by-turn directions, public transport, parking, and refreshment details, downloadable GPX files, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners.
Packed with expert insight and stunning photography, Peak Bagging Peak District is your ultimate guide to the high points of the Peak District.
