Audio Trails - Audio Tours of the moors!

Welcome to the Audio Trails webpages - Award Winning MP3 led Guided Walks

Select one of the six award winning Audio Trails (indicated by a red square on the map below) and gain access to a wealth of information on that particular route.

Why not download the files onto your MP3 player, mobile phone, GPS receiver or simply print off a map and route directions and undertake one of these fabulous walks? For those without an MP3 player, you can hire one from a number of venues (see each individual walk page for details).

New Audio Trail added Nov '06:

You can undertake the walks in your own time and at your own pace and not suffer the disappointment of finding the walks fully booked up or arranged for a day when you have other commitments, whilst still gaining a valuable insight into what has shaped the important heritage of this National Park.

On 27th November 2006, the Moors for the Future Audio Trails won a commendation from the Friends of the Peak District / Council for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) - 2006 Countryside Awards. Dan Boys is pictured left receiving the award from Lord Hattersley.

You will notice that the walks vary in the amount of direction that is given. As this is a pilot we want to gauge how much information people want to be provided with. Please let us know whether you think the trail you undertake had too much or too little information by filling in the online evaluation form and get the chance to win an MP3 player. We do hope that you find the walks both enjoyable and informative.

We welcome your feedback.

Please be aware that the moors can be a dangerous place to explore and these walks are intended to compliment rather than substitute appropriate navigational skills and equipment needed to undertake such walks. For further information on what essential equipment you should take on moorland walks visit our mountain safety page (click here)

We advise that along with the usual appropriate navigation equipment, you also print off the map and route directions available on each page.

 

n.b. a further seven Audio Trails will be added in Summer 2007
