This detailed and informative walking guide contains 20 circular routes, from 4-1/2 miles to 20 miles in length, with each route consisting of four components. The routes are all within Derbyshire and start from Duffield, Belper, Allestree, Carsington Water, Chatsworth, Castleton, Ogston and Tissington. Many of the routes are based on original charity walks. Dr James Mason of Duffield organised an annual sponsored walk to support the homeless people of Derby, known as the Duffield Deanery walk, which visited the churches in the Deanery. He originally completed it over a weekend but the book has split it into four routes. This explains why churches feature significantly as stopping points or points of reference. Some of the shorter routes were originally developed as sponsored walks to support the Friends of Babington Hospital of Belper. The routes have been planned to minimise road walking, mainly crossing fields and tracks. They will take you past some interesting sights including churches, farms, World Heritage sites, pubs and mills. Varied and challenging - if you choose - this guide is a must for walking enthusiasts, whether local or visitors to Derbyshire.
