Overview

In this book, you may encounter headless phantoms or ghostly troops of soldiers, faceless horsemen, a plethora of monks and a bespectacled nun, and, one you won't want to meet, a man-eating family! It is a second collection of 30 circular walks in Derbyshire, ranging from 1-10 miles in length. Each walk has at least one ghostly story attached - some have several chilling tales, which will make a rambler shiver even under the warmest fleece! And you should be warned that some of the ghosts are more 'hands on' so you may be pinched or pushed, slapped or have your clothes tugged. You may be locked in a room or shut in a freezer and you may even receive three cold kisses! You will visit some of the less frequented parts of Derbyshire, experiencing the rich diversity of its scenery, from gentle valleys to panoramic viewpoints. On these quieter paths, you will find wildlife undisturbed by the tramp of many feet. Kestrels hover over pastures, jays and woodpeckers may be glimpsed in woodland, buntings chirp from uncut hedges, and, if you are lucky, on three of the walks, a kingfisher may imprint its brilliant hue on your day. The walks include visits to famous halls, houses and castles and a number of fascinating churches, including the strangely named Halter Devil Chapel. There is information about parking, toilets and refreshment stops and good maps.
