This is the 7th edition of the popular Hidden Places of the Peak District & Derbyshire which has been extensively redesigned to include a striking new cover and new page layouts. In addition, although you will still find details of places of interest and entries of places to stay, eat and drink included under each village or town, these are now cross-referenced to more detailed information contained in a separate, easy-to-use section at the back of the book. This beautifully illustrated guide explores the county in a relaxed narrative style by guiding the reader to some of the established visitor attractions but also focusing on the more secluded and less well-known places of interest and places to stay, eat and drink. The Peak District National Park was the very first of Britain's National Parks covering an area of 540 square miles and offers windswept moorland, steep river valleys and impressive crags to the north, and green landscapes and gentle flowing rivers to the south. In contrast the rest of Derbyshire offers the visitor an intriguing mix of villages and towns packed with a cultural and industrial heritage.
