The Peak District embraces the most southerly parts of the Pennines, marking the transition from lowland to highland England. The landscape comprises of two strongly contrasting elements: the gritstone of the Dark Peak and the lighter limestone of the White Peak. The Dark Peak or High Peak embraces the wildest terrain, the remotest farms and highest hills. From the High Peak the gritstone extends south to create a horseshoe around the central White Peak, making it a spectacular feature and a Mecca for rock-climbers. Other outstanding features of the area include Chatsworth House, Pool's Cavern at Buxton and Mam Tor, near Castleton. The scenery of Dovedale has been captured in the watercolours of Joseph Wright and in the Derbyshire oil paintings of George Turner. Talbot and Whiteman take us on an awe-inspiring tour of this most-dramatic terrain, with their established blend of stunning landscape photography and richly informative and entertaining text.
