TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
IN THE EAST MIDLANDS
W
Exploring the Peak District:
Britain's original National Park is a walkers' and
cyclists' paradise, especially the Monsal Trail
past the stunning Monsal Falls, while
Chatsworth House is the region's unmissable “jewel in the crown.” See p. 534.
W
Following in the footsteps of Robin Hood:
The legendary outlaw, who left his
mark all over Sherwood Forest, lives on in lively local pageants and festivals, as well
as special trails and footpaths. See p. 544.
W
Marveling at Lincoln Cathedral:
Rising majestically from the heart of a walkable
city of medieval streets lined by Tudor houses, Lincoln's fine Gothic cathedral was
described by critic John Ruskin as no less than “the most precious piece of archi-
tecture in the British Isles.” See p. 551.
