Peaklass Walks
I’m delighted that people enjoy my photography of the Peak District, but I’m even happier to be able to introduce them to this beautiful place in real life! If you’re able to visit and walk, there’s no substitute for pulling on your boots and getting out into the wild hills and country lanes, where you can hear the birds and smell the flowers as well as admire the views.
Over the past few years I’ve written more than 70 Peak District walks for a variety of platforms, enabling explorers of all ages to discover this wonderful area for themselves, to find brand new places and revisit favourite spots.

Clients
I have produced a number of walks for both Visit Peak District, the official Peak District tourist board, and Let’s Go Peak District, the area’s largest independent tourist resource. These are enjoyed regularly by many of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to their websites.
I’ve also been commissioned to write bespoke walks for many holiday accommodation providers in the area, including Darwin Forest near Matlock (www.darwinforest.co.uk), Sandybrook near Ashbourne (www.sandybrook.co.uk), and the popular Yorkshire Bridge Inn near Ladybower Reservoir (www.yorkshire-bridge.co.uk). In addition I have written walks for numerous individual holiday cottages and B&Bs in the area, including properties in Winster, Birchover and Cromford.
Testimonials:
“Suzanne has been an absolute pleasure to work with and we are delighted with the walks she has produced for us. The walks are thoroughly researched and easy to follow with interesting facts about the area. The walks have been very positively received by our holiday-makers. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone interested in having walking maps produced.” – Caroline Povey, Darwin Forest
“We’ve always wanted to produce detailed walks from the door for our guests but never found the time. We asked Suzanne if she could produce a varied collection of walks for us in order to really help our guests discover the area. We wish we’d done this years ago! Suzanne knows that a love of exploring the great outdoors can be a real passion for some guests, whilst others may just want a more leisurely taster of the area. The walks Suzanne has produced manage to tick all of these boxes. They range from active and pretty challenging to much more easygoing, with a wealth of information packed into each one. Our guests love the great photography included in the walks, alongside the friendly and relaxed directions, with detailed stories about each location. Suzanne has so much fascinating information about each area and she shares it in a really engaging style. Thank you Suzanne! We’ve commissioned six bespoke walks so far but we’re looking forward to adding more to our collection. They’re a real winner for our guests and make their stay in the Peak District just that little bit more special.” – Helen Illingworth, The Yorkshire Bridge Inn
