Acclaimed regional chroniclers Talbot and Whiteman take us on a tour of the spectacular landscape and locations of the Peak District.
This book embraces the most southerly parts of the Pennines, marking the transition from lowland to highland England. The landscape comprises two strongly contrasting elements: the gritstone of the Dark Peak and the lighter limestone of the White Peak.
The Dark (or High) Peak embraces the wildest terrain, the most remote farms and the highest hills. From the High Peak the gritstone extends south to create a horseshoe around the central White Peak, making it a spectacular feature and a mecca for rock climbers.
Talbot and Whiteman take us on an awe-inspiring tour of this most dramatic terrain, with their characteristic blend of stunning landscape photography and informative and entertaining text.
