Derbyshire’s wide appeal is due to its rich and varied terrain, from riverside walks into the city of Derby, to the rugged White Peak. The spa town of Buxton in the north of the county down through to the World Heritage sites along the Derwent valley tell the story of our industrial heritage, while market towns such as Bakewell and Ashbourne still support a thriving farming community. From the Victorians down to today, tourism is still popular with visitors from around the world, as well as local residents who all find delight in the abundant beauty of Derbyshire’s flora and fauna.
Our series of Walk Derbyshire books have always ensured that you get an extra dimension to your walk by taking you back in time to explore the people, rich and poor who shaped this area, leaving relics of their past for us to investigate and to colour our imagination as we enjoy some of the best walks Derbyshire has to offer. With easy to follow directions, suggestions for that all important refreshment, details of easy access and parking, ‘Walk Derbyshire 7’ also gives a brief outline of terrain, length of walk, and difficulty to make it the essential guide for every lover of Derbyshire.
