about Peak District walks website
Peak District Walks was set up in 2019, although the creator and author, Becky Angell, has been walking in the Peak District National Park for over 12 years.
Becky is a Mountain Leader and takes care to give accurate information about the walks, including any challenging sections or difficult terrain on the hikes.
The majority of the walks on the website have been walked by Becky, some numerous times, others only once or twice.
Becky goes hiking in the Peak District in all weathers, so you’ll be able to find walks to suit you and your ability. There will also be tips to look out for different plants and wildlife, according to the seasons.
On the Peak District Walks website, she shares routes that she has walked, as well as tips for map-reading, where to start your hike, which map you need, parking + public transport options and what facilities are on route. Plus a step-by-step route guide for each walk, along with an accompanying map from Ordnance Survey.
You can also find recommendations for hiking gear and clothes on the website. These are all items Becky has either used personally or been recommended by friends and family in the hiking community.

Meet Becky Angell
Becky has been walking in the Peak District National Park for over 12 years.
She has done many hikes across both the White Peak and Dark Peak Areas, however, her favourite place to walk is up on the remote plateau of Kinder Scout where she often goes hiking.
Becky’s first hike was up Mam Tor, one of the most popular and well-loved walks in the UK, according to Julia Bradbury’s best walks in the UK!
Over the years, Becky has now explored many new parts and re-visited old walks in the Peak District, always taking lots of photos of her walks. Even in bad weather!
You might have done one of Becky’s walks before as before ‘Peak District Walks’ was launched she shared her favourite walks on her website ‘Becky the Traveller‘ which now details more of her long distance adventures in helpful guides for you to follow.

Meet ben hales
Ben has also been exploring the Peak District for many years, first mountain biking but then he started hiking in 2016.
In the last few years, he has explored a huge area of the National Park with his epic hiking challenges, including hiking 66 miles from north to south as a long-distance trek. And in 2019, Ben set himself a challenge to hike to every single trig point in the Peak District National Park – all 88 of them!
His favourite places to walk in the Peak District include Parkhouse and Chrome Hill, and Lud’s Church is a special place for Ben. But he says to drop him anywhere in the Peak District and he’ll be happy.
Ben has joined the team to share his trig point collection (from his 2019 trig bagging challenge). You can find all the Trig walks here.

Meet laura jacklin
Laura grew up just south of the Peak District so as a child she was dragged on weekend walks there by her family, before deciding she rather liked it!
Doing her Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in the White Peak area cemented her love of the outdoors and although she loves hiking and running all over the country (or even further afield) she always comes back to the Peak District.
Laura has walked many of the long-distance footpaths in the area including the Limestone Way, the Derwent Valley Heritage Way and the Peak Pilgrimage. Laura also set herself the challenge of her very own long-distance walk, which was following the length of the River Dove from her front door to its source up at Axe Edge and camping along the way.
