Product description
Christopher Goddard was born in Sheffield and now lives in Hebden Bridge with his partner Caroline and their dog Alfie. An obsessive cartographer, he has been drawing maps for as long as he has been able to hold a pencil.
The South Yorkshire Moors is an original cartographic guide to the moorlands of South Yorkshire and part of northern Derbyshire. The book covers the open access moorland of Kinder Scout, Bleaklow, Howden, Derwent, Stanage and the Eastern Moors, seeking out less-travelled routes across these popluar parts of the Peak District.
There are detailed sketches and extensive notes on local history, wild life, geology, etymology and the long fight for access to these wild spaces on Sheffield's doorstep. Over 20 suggested routes.
