50 Gems of the Peak District: The History & Heritage of the Most Iconic Places

by Denis Eardley

Overview

The Peak District, designated as Britain’s first national park in 1951 and now one of the most visited national parks in the world, holds many delights, from high moors and narrow gorges to dark gritstone edges and white limestone cliffs, and from grand country houses to stone-built villages and spa towns. The fifty gems featured in this book are places that will get under your skin and invade your mind. Some will take your breath away, some will make you pause and think about how our ancestors shaped the landscape, while others have a fantastic tearoom or cosy pub nearby. 50 Gems of the Peak District is overflowing with awe-inspiring photographs and fascinating facts to draw you closer to the places you already know and love and to tempt you to discover new gems of your own.
