Using full colour OS Explorer maps and including brief, easy-to-read
notes on wildlife, history, archaeology, and literature, with colour
photos and sketches, the book is aimed at both experienced and
relatively new walkers. The walks range from 2 to14 miles in length,
providing both leisurely and more strenuous options, and the routes are
highlighted on OS Explorer (1:25,000) series map extracts.
Each
route is described in step-by-step detail with grid references provided
for each paragraph of the route description. There are 17 walks chapters
each with a map extract and several route options of differing length
providing 33 walks in total and many great days out.
