Description
Since the 1932 Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout, the Peak District has grown in popularity among walkers and ramblers to become the second most visited national park in the world, after Mount Fuji in Japan. Photographer Fran Halsall presents a stunning photographic portrait of its many moods through the seasons, from the heather moorland and exposed sandstone outcrops of the Dark Peak to the limestone hills and wildflower grasslands that characterise the White Peak. Her informed and inspirational text celebrates the Peak Park's beauty, heritage and drama and explores the relationship between Man and Nature in this changing and complex landscape.
