📖 A Moorland Notebook by Terry Howard is more than a book—it’s a window into the soul of the moors.
🌿 Part history, part landscape guide, part memoir, it explores the ancient rights of way, lost landmarks, and stories woven into the land itself.
Originally published in 1992, it became a rallying cry for the Right to Roam movement, but it’s also a celebration of the Peak District’s haunting beauty:
🔹 The curlew’s call over misty heather
🔹 The forgotten standing stones that once guided travellers
🔹 The old causeys and hollow-ways trodden for centuries
Peakrill Press is bringing out a new 2025 edition, with:
✅ The original 1992 text 📖
✅ Rich descriptions of landscapes, walls, stiles, ditches & folklore
✅ A new reflection on what’s been gained—and what’s still at risk
If you love rambling, history, nature writing, and the spirit of the moors, this book is for you.
📢 Back the Kickstarter today and help bring it back into print!
A history of access and trespass on the high moors of South Yorkshire and part of North Derbyshire, with suggested rambling routes.
