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:
