  Great Walks Features:


Great Walks For Everyone
- From a stroll along the River Thames Path, a ramble in the Cotswolds to the ascent of the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks. 

A huge variety of distances, terrain types and toughness grades in each edition area. Many walks have shorter options and some are Figures of Eight where you can choose which sections to undertake.

Routes Surveyed
 by experienced walkers with extensive local knowledge. Every route is separately checked and verified. All walks are circular - returning to your start point.

Easy To Follow Directions - Presented in a format which is ideal for reading 'on the hoof'. The Great Walks style provides the actual info you need at any point to seemlessly guide you around the route.

Quality Mapping - Each walk map is clearly marked with the route, start point and useful waypoints annotated to correspond with the route directions.

Refreshment - Cosy pubs, cafes or tea shops on or near every route are listed in each individual walk report.

Stunning Pictures - Giving a real flavour of the walk, before you even set foot on the route.

Local Info Sources -
Links to free hard copy guides and web sites for the best sources of information in each edition area:

What To See - Our selection of the most fascinating things to see in the area - historic houses, castles, cathedrals, steam railways, natural features, chalk hill carvings and heritage sites of many types.

Where To Stay - Accommodation booking services, B&Bs, town and country hotels, camp sites and youth hostel contact lines and web sites.

Getting Help - Tourist Information Centres, web sites and help lines

GPS Waypoints - If you are one of the growing number of walkers who use GPS as a navigational tool you'll find GPS waypoints listed for every walk. Great Walks is the only major guide series to provide actual waypoints as 10-figure Grid Refs.

Print & Go - Your selected walk reports are available for instantaneous download as PDF files, ready to read, print and go walking.
