The most comprehensive Peak District photo-location guidebook available that will lead you to all the classic locations and many other equally great places that only a few know about and visit. Described by one reviewer as, “The template for all photography location guides.”

The Peak District is a beautiful upland area at the southern end of the Pennines stretching from Ashbourne in the south to the M62 in the north. The northern Dark Peak is an area of wild heather-clad moorland lined by gritstone edges and boulders that contrast with the limestone plateau and deep dales of the White Peak. Cut by sparkling rivers, populated with beautiful villages, a rich industrial heritage and home to Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, the UK’s first national park has photographic opportunities around every corner, all year round.

Chris Gilbert and Mick Ryan describe over 150 locations to visit and photograph in this 496 page photo-location and visitor guidebook, illustrated with over 750 photographs.
