Welcome to peakwalking The original online guide to walking in England's Peak District

Centred on Derbyshire and Staffordshire, the Peak District National Park contains a mixture of small towns and open countryside which is best appreciated and explored on foot.

The Peak District has walking for everyone, ranging from strolls along gentle limestone dales with their crystal clear rivers to airy walks along the unique gritstone 'edges' with their wonderful views. At the northern end, expeditions onto forbidding high heather moorland are possible. It's a great place to be, whatever the weather!

With the Peakwalking site, I aim to inspire you to pull on your boots, get walking and explore this wonderful little bit of England....

• There's an introduction to the area
• The walks themselves - each with a detailed description of the route and things to look out for along the way
• Notes about the gear you might want to take with you
• An information and links page giving access to other useful websites such as accommodation and eating places
• Some memories of the countryside, with a chance for you to contribute
• A what's new page to help regular visitors see what's been updated recently

Before leaving the site, please contact me to let me know what you think of it or to participate in the memories section.
