Book description
Guidebook to Britain's National Trails - 19 long-distance walking
routes through England, Wales and Scotland. Together, the National
Trails cover well over 5000km (3100 miles), exploring the rich, scenic,
historic countryside of Britain. Some trails are short and easy, while
others are long and challenging. Some have a strong theme, following
rugged coastlines or meandering rivers. Others use ancient cross-country
routes or follow the courses of ancient boundaries. Packed with
information, this guide will help you get out and walk the finest
long-distance routes in the country. Outline schedules for each Trail
allow you compare the routes and organise your own walking itinerary.
Basic day-by-day route descriptions for each Trail are illustrated with
maps and profiles. For each Trail information is provided on access to
and from the route, maps, public transport, guidebooks, TICs,
accommodation and useful websites. Paddy Dillon is a prolific outdoor
writer, writing for a number of outdoor magazines, as well as producing
information for tourism groups. Paddy has walked and written about every
county in Great Britain, as well as many parts of Europe, Asia and North
America.
