"The late Sir John Betjamin said "There is every kind of scenery in Derbyshire - except the sea." But this was not always so; 350,000 years ago this area was covered by a warm and shallow inland tropical sea, the ancient remnants of which today form the central limestone dome of the White Peak. What characterises the White Peak is the rural tranquility, the sense of remoteness from urban civilisation, and the unique and ruggedly handsome character of its many wonderful villages. Situated in the Peak District National Park, the White Peak is a wonderland of breathtaking scenery, - a paradise for walkers, hikers and nature lovers alike. This book describes in detail the villages, trails and rivers that make the White Peak so special to the millions of visitors who come each year to the Peak District of Derbyshire, and creates a permanent record, fixing the area in history within the framework of the Millennium Year of AD 2000.
