This is the 3rd revised edition of the Geologist's Association Guide No 26 to the Peak District, the first having been published in 1957 and the second in 1972. Over the 40 years since the first edition was written there have been very considerable changes in the classification of the rocks exposed in the Peak District, and the systematic work of the Geological Survey along with that by private research workers has added immensely to a better understanding of the geology of the area.
