Slow Travel: Peak District

This new guide in the Bradt Slow series invites you to leave the crowds behind and uncover the hidden corners of the Peak District, filled with colour, character and history. Along the way, be guided through secret dales, abandoned mills, historical ruins, strange follies and quirky pubs. Slow Peak District seeks out an alternative Peak District, places and events mainly known to the locals: farmer's markets, live music venues, story-telling cafés and local festivals. Recommended walks and cycle rides (and more unusual modes of transport) offer an intimate experience of the area, tuning in with the trend for seeking a slower pace of life in leisure time.
