Full Description
Climb the finest hills in the Peak District - and discover the very best routes to do it.
In Peak Bagging Peak District, local author Anna Paxton guides you to 121 of the most rewarding summits in the national park, including the 74 accessible plus 47 other notable tops. Whether you're a hillwalker or trail runner, this is the definitive guide to bagging the best of the Peak.
Taking inspiration from the UK's bestselling Peak Bagging Wainwrights and Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1, this book blends challenging hill lists with thoughtfully designed routes - each chosen to be an outstanding walk or run in its own right.
Explore dramatic edges and moorland plateaus, rugged ridgelines and peaceful valleys. Hike classic circuits like Mam Tor and Lose Hill, scale the Dragon's Back on Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill, and roam Kinder Scout's wild uplands via the Pennine Way.
The 32 routes are grouped into five regions, covering the diverse landscapes of the Dark Peak and White Peak. Each route includes 1:40,000-scale maps and elevation profiles, turn-by-turn directions, public transport, parking, and refreshment details, downloadable GPX files, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners.
Packed with expert insight and stunning photography, Peak Bagging Peak District is your ultimate guide to the high points of the Peak District.
