of the Peak District. The author's love of interesting and colourful story is linked to the
natural and manmade features of the area  highlighting the quirky and unusual places and points
of interest off the beaten tourist track  from dales to abandoned mills  historical ruins 
strange follies and irresistible pubs. Connect with the people who work and live in the
national park through first-hand accounts of their experiences  and discover great places to
cook  eat and drink  with a focus on tasty  local and good quality food in atmospheric venues

northern fringes  to the historic stone-built settlements that lie the heart of the national
park  from the elegant Spa town of Buxton to the colourful market towns of Matlock  Ashbourne
and Leek in the south  the Peak District is filled with story and history - and great beauty.
