This Wainwright-sized guide to the walking opportunities on the Eastern and Southern moors of the Peak District focuses on land opened up to walkers by the recent Right to Roam legislation.

The guide includes: an introduction to the area: its landscape, history and natural history; 12 free-range walks, graded for difficulty, that allow walkers to choose their own route; a full-page 4-colour OS map for each walk; special features on points of interest chosen to add to walkers' enjoyment of the countryside; practical information for visitors; a guide to public rights of access.
