Kiddiwalks in the Peak District

If you're looking for things to do with the kids in and around the Peak District, this is the book for you. Here you'll find 20 walks devised especially with children in mind.

Each route in this book is packed with fun things to see and do along the way. There are birds to spot, ducks to feed, standing stones and caves to investigate, ancient hillforts and ruins to conquer.

All of these walks pass the Kiddiwalks `S' test:

SIMPLE - The routes are circular, with not too many hills to climbs. Some suitable for pushchairs

SHORT - The walks are all between 1 and 5 miles

STIMULATING - There is plenty to interest children en route. Scramble up Crook Hill and see the breathtaking view from the twin gritstone peaks; see the boulders at Dovestone Reservoir, said to be the result of two giants fighting; look for wildlife and flowers along the disused Hayfield railway line, now the Sett Valley Trail and the Longdendale Trail; and visit the monument of the Duke of Wellington, hero of Waterloo and inventor of the famous Wellington boot.

STOPS - Each walk features places for refreshment: from picnic sites to cafes and family-friendly pubs.
