Rocky landscape in the peak district

Introduction

While the Peak District is mostly rounded moorland, plateaus and valleys, there are some exposed ridges, gullies and boulder fields. These are the kind of routes that require a good sense of problem-solving and provide a great sense of achievement once completed.

All of these routes have been tackled by our staff members and can be found on the Ordnance Survey OL1 map: The Peak District - Dark Peak Area and in the Cicerone Guide: Scrambles In The Dark Peak.
