This Wainwright-sized guide to the walking opportunities in the ancient Forest of Bowland focuses on land opened up to walkers by the recent Right to Roam legislation. It is part of a series of Freedom to Roam guides published in partnership with Ramblers' Association, long-time campaigner for greater public access to the countryside.
The guide includes: an introduction to the area: its landscape, history and natural history; 12 free-range rambles, graded for difficulty, that allow walkers to choose their own route; a full-page 4-colour OS map for each walk; special features on points of interest chosen to add to walkers' enjoyment of the countryside; practical information for visitors; a guide to public rights of access.
... these neat little books take you to some of the places you might not have thought of, which have at last become legally accessible under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act
