About the Author

Elaine Burkinshaw has lived around Sheffield and Manchester all her life. She has a passion for exploring this area, with particular emphasis on the enjoyment of local history and attractions. This is her second walking guide published by Cicerone.
Although my husband, Andrew, and I currently live in South Yorkshire, we are only 200 metres from the Derbyshire border and very close to Nottinghamshire. Indeed, I have lived all my life in and around Sheffield and Manchester. Historic Walks in Derbyshire is my third walking guide, following Walking in Sherwood Forest and the Dukeries (Cicerone Press) and Discovery Walks in North East Derbyshire (Sigma Press), which were both inspired by a desire to explore new local walks as an alternative to the Peak District, to which the majority of walkers living in Sheffield are automatically drawn.
