A history of the Peak District moors
Hey, David2014
Book
The moors of the Peak District provide some of the finest walking country in England. Now it is being conserved as part of Britain's first National Park; much of it is in the care of the National Trust. This book covers all periods of time from prehistory to the present, for a typical moorland walk might take in the standing stones of a prehistoric stone circle, a medieval boundary marker, a guide stoop dated 1709, the straight walls of 19-century enclosure, a row of Victorian grouse butts, a long line of flagstones brought in by helicopter, and very much more besides.
