Even the Peak District’s name conceals a mystery. Forget the obvious: a visitor expecting towering peaks will be disappointed, as the name comes from the Pecsaetan tribe who once lived here. But there’s a twist: the Anglo-Saxon means “settlers of the Pec”…and that word pec has the same root as our peak, the dialect pike and the Pyrenean pic. So, u...

    Wandelgids Peak District: Walks to Viewpoints | Northern Eye Books
    Wandelgids Peak District: Walks to Viewpoints | Northern Eye Books
    This handy pocket size book will take you on short circular walks to the ten finest views and viewpoints in the Peak District.   Views are why many of us venture into the hills and countryside in the first place. Nothing beats a sweeping view from a moorland edge or hill, or an arching panorama over a pleasant valley. Sometimes it’s just the simple pleasure of the patterns of light and shade, the textures and colours of the woodland or the flowing beauty of the stream we’re walking beside. But typically there’s a feeling that you’ve earned a great view through sheer effort – even if the easiest approach had been taken to reach it.   Perhaps that’s why so many of the great Peak District views are atop minor summits, at moorland edges, or overlooking deep valleys.

    Wandelgids Tea Shop Walks | Northern Eye Books
    Wandelgids Tea Shop Walks | Northern Eye Books
    A visit to a tea shop adds something special to a walk. It’s always a treat to sit down to coffee and cake at the end of an afternoon stroll or to tuck into a hearty lunch half-way through a gorgeous hike.   From quaint little tea rooms that still serve drinks in china cups to modern cafés staffed by trained baristas, the Lake District has plenty to offer — and all surrounded by a truly breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage landscape.   The ten tea shops in this book have been chosen partly on the basis of the excellent walking that can be enjoyed from their doors, and partly on the basis of the fare and ambience they have to offer.    They occupy village, lakeside and woodland locations. The walks themselves take in hidden valleys, low fells, lakes, waterfalls, riverside paths, fabulous viewpoints and wildflower-filled woods — a tremendous array of the sort of scenery for which the Lake District has become world famous.

    Wandelgids The Peak District | Pocket Mountains
    Leuk wandelgidsje met een ruime keuze aan wandelingen, meestal tussen de 5 en 10 km. Goed beschreven en een redelijk schetsmatig kaartje. Handzaam zakformaat!   The Peak District is an upland area at the southern end of the Pennines and includes parts of Derbyshire, Greater Manchester, Staffordshire, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire. Mostly split between the gritstone of the Dark Peak and the limestone area of the White Peak, the Peak District National Park became the UK's first national park in 1951. Tourism had been growing since the advent of the railways, with visitors attracted by the spa towns of Buxton and Matlock Bath, Castleton's show caves, and Bakewell, the national park's only town.   The stunning landscape accessed by an extensive network of public footpaths now draws outdoors enthusiasts from far and wide. This new volume from Pocket Mountains Ltd includes 40 of the most popular walks in the Peak District.

    Productomschrijving

    Even the Peak District’s name conceals a mystery. Forget the obvious: a visitor expecting towering peaks will be disappointed, as the name comes from the Pecsaetan tribe who once lived here. But there’s a twist: the Anglo-Saxon means “settlers of the Pec”…and that word pec has the same root as our peak, the dialect pike and the Pyrenean pic. So, ultimately, the Peak District is named after its peaks, after all.   The Peak District is broadly defined by the conurbations at its corners: Manchester, Sheffield, Derby and Stoke. Within this rectangle, the National Park forms a rough oval of around 550 square miles.   The area is traditionally divided into the Dark Peak – peat moorland edged by gritstone, with rugged villages in the valleys — and the softer White Peak – upland pastures defined by drystone walls, divided by gorges and limestone villages. The eastern and western moors are similar to the Dark Peak, but have their own subtly distinctive characters.   The Peak District was occupied by humans long before the Pecsaetans and in each era man has left his mark, from prehistoric standing stones and rock art, through the folk legends, crosses and churches of the Middle Ages, to post-medieval follies and puzzling relics of the extraction of lime and lead.   The varied geology of the area throws up natural curiosities too: its dark gritstone has wind-sculpted tors and edges, while its gleaming limestone hides caves and subterranean rivers.   This handy pocket size book will take you on short circular walks to the ten most fascinating, odd or strange places in the Peak District. Prepare to be amazed and surprised.
