Book Description

'The Peak District was Britain's first National Park and an escape for people in the cities of the industrial north. Prehistoric man built stone circles at Stanton-in-the-Moor and Arbor Low and the Romans had garrisons here, but for many centuries the region was regarded as a 'howling wilderness,' exploited by its aristocratic landlords for hunting, grazing, and lead and stone mining. John Bull explores the culture and history of the Dark and White Peak, which annually attract millions of visitors.
