Peak District Walks are all individual walks that have been personally walked by Becky Angell, a qualified Mountain Leader from Becky the Traveller. She gets out in all weathers to try new walks, but always returns on sunny days to get good photos! New to the team is Ben Hales who has hiked all over the Peak District on various challenges.
New walks are added weekly so if you can’t find what you want be sure to come back soon. Or better still drop me an email and I will try and find a walk for you.
