This is the 9th edition of the Hidden Places of the Peak District and Derbyshire which has an attractive new cover and redesigned page layouts. The changes will significantly improve the usefulness, accessibility and appeal of the guide. We do hope you like the new look. Editorially, the new style will continue Travel Publishing’s commitment to exploring the more interesting, unusual or unique places of interest in The Peak District and Derbyshire. In this respect we would like to thank the Tourist Information Centres who helped us update the editorial content of the book. The Peak District National Park was the very first of Britain’s National Parks covering an area of 540 square miles. The Dark Peak covering north Derbyshire and small parts of Cheshire and South Yorkshire is an area of windswept moorland, steep river valleys and impressive crags.Further south is the White Peak a limestone-based undulating green landscape criss-crossed by miles of dry stone walls and gently flowing rivers whilst to the west can be found the beautiful valleys and rivers of the Dales as well as the Staffordshire Moorlands. In contrast the rest of Derbyshire offers the visitor an intriguing mix of villages and towns packed with cultural and industrial heritage and should certainly not be missed. The Hidden Places of the Peak District and Derbyshire contains a wealth of information on the history, culture and the hundreds of interesting places to be found within the National Park and the county of Derbyshire. But it also promotes the more secluded and little known visitor attractions and advertises places to stay, eat and drink many of which are easy to miss unless you know exactly where you are going. These are cross-referenced to more detailed information contained in a separate, easy-to-use section to the rear of the book. This section is also available as a free supplement from the local Tourist Information Offices.
We include hotels, bed & breakfasts, restaurants, pubs, bars, teashops and cafes as well as historic houses, museums, gardens and many other attractions throughout the Peak District and Derbyshire, all of which are comprehensively indexed. Many places are accompanied by an attractive photograph and are easily located by using the map at the beginning of each chapter. We do not award merit marks or rankings but concentrate on describing the more interesting, unusual or unique features of each place with the aim of making the reader’s stay in the local area an enjoyable and stimulating experience. Whether you are travelling around the Peak District and Derbyshire on business or for pleasure we do hope that you enjoy reading and using this book. We are always interested in what readers think of places covered (or not covered) in our guides so please do not hesitate to use the reader reaction form provided to give us your considered comments. We also welcome any general comments which will help us improve the guides themselves. Finally if you are planning to visit any other corner of the British Isles we would like to refer you to the list of other Hidden Places titles to be found to the rear of the book and to the Travel Publishing website.
