This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Slow Travel Peak
District brings a fresh perspective to this much-loved area. Slow
down and let expert local author Helen Moat guide you to not just
all the well-known places, but away from the crowds to uncover the
hidden corners of the Peak District. The author's love of
interesting and colourful story is linked to the natural and
manmade features of the area, highlighting the quirky and unusual
places and points of interest off the beaten tourist track, from
dales to abandoned mills, historical ruins, strange follies and
irresistible pubs. Connect with the people who work and live in the
national park through first-hand accounts of their experiences, and
discover great places to cook, eat and drink, with a focus on
tasty, local and good quality food in atmospheric venues and
locations. An emphasis on car-free travel throws up a range of
options: walking, cycling, boating, buses and trains - and some
more unusual modes of transport as part of the sightseeing
experience. From the characterful mill towns of Holmfirth, Marsden
and Uppermill on its northern fringes, to the historic stone-built
settlements that lie the heart of the national park; from the
elegant spa town of Buxton to the colourful market towns of
Matlock, Ashbourne and Leek in the south, the Peak District is
filled with story and history - and great beauty. Helen Moat has
won, or been placed in, numerous travel writing competitions and
has a passion for, and extensive knowledge of, the Peak District.
She now works as a freelance travel writer, contributing to
regional and national publications such as Derbyshire Life,
Wanderlust and BBC Countryfile.
