I just stumbled on your web site, and wanted to say that your walks and the way you have presented them are absolutely fantastic!

Did your Three Shires Head walk which was just far enough on a glorious hot day but great to have your very comprehensive details & pics so that for once we didn't put a foot wrong. Very pretty scenery.

Love your website! A good selection of easy-moderate walks, none of them too long and well within the capabilities of families with children and reasonably mobile older folks. Every step is very clearly described, and the photos with arrows are a brilliant idea. This fills a real gap in the online walking library for the Peak District – thank you!

This is absolutely the best walking peaks website ever! We love the PDFs – they are so accurate and we couldn't have done today's walk without it. Thank you.

I just would like to say a big thank you! You are doing an amazing job. I have never seen in my life better maps than on this web site with all the instructions and also pictures of where to turn or where not to go. I can also download them – that is great. It is a big help for us, because last time we got lost in Peak District! So, thank you very much and good luck in future. Keep adding more walks :)

Just done the Chee Dale walk – thanks for the brilliant instructions and photos – worked just right on my phone. It made the walk so much easier than the usual books with their vague directions and sketch maps!

What a great website! We shall follow it with interest, and try out as many walks as possible. We are retired and can't walk very far, so get disheartened by all the books of walks which are far too long for us! Thanks again for the great layout and thoughtful information.

Just did your Chee Dale walk with young family this weekend. Brilliantly clear instructions – especially with the annotated photos. Had a great time! Site seems flawless, and the mobile version is excellent.

We walked to Three Shires Head today, and followed your extremely helpful map. We have tried to walk there twice before but couldn't find it. Your map and guidance was so very helpful and informative, and we had a wonderful walk. I just wanted to say thank you so much! I'll use your website in future for any other walks in the Peak District.

Just walked from Clough Farm to Three Shires Head and back. Downloaded the PDF onto mobile as we knew reception could be minimal on route. Pictures add a great deal to the directions and everything is easy to see and understand. Great site!

We did your Three Shires Head walk today with a three- and five-year-old in tow. Very in-depth and precise – we did not get lost. Thank you!
Stacey, August 2015
Hubby and I found the photographs and directions of this walk the best we have ever followed – we can honestly say they were great. We had no problems knowing exactly where we were at all times, especially as it is an area we have not walked before. Thank you – if only other directions were as clear as yours.
Margaret, April 2015
This is a great and useful site with the clearest directions I think I've ever seen.
Ben, August 2014
We knew a walk would be on the agenda this weekend and, having found your Three Shires Head walk, directions were printed off, and we were away. OK, so we took a bit longer than the guide time, but that's because there was so much to see, and we feel very lucky after reading about seeing Lapwings and Curlews in the directions, we actually did see them. The photos and accompanying writing were spot on, and made the whole experience stress free, and beautifully enjoyable.
Paul, June 2014
I did the Three Shires Head walk – it's a brilliant idea to have the photos with arrows – especially in open country and on hills where you can check landmarks on the horizon to be sure you're on the right track. I'll be trying another walk soon.
Steve, June 2014
We did your Three Shires Head route today. The information you provided was excellent, and the pictures were a real help as we may have strayed the wrong way had it not been for them. The walk itself was beautiful. Thank you from me and my dogs :)

My wife and I are what you would call novice walkers. We recently walked the Three Shires Head walk, following your detailed guide (including arrows), and your map. We really enjoyed the walk and Shining Tor thereafter. This is an invaluable website!
