The Pennine Way: British Walking Guides

Britain's best-known National Trail winds for 256 miles over wild moorland and through quiet dales following the backbone of northern England. Crossing three national parks - the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland - this superb footpath showcases Britain's finest upland scenery, while touching the literary landscape of the Bronte family and Roman history along Hadrian's Wall. Includes 135 walking maps - the largest-scale maps available. At a scale of just under 1:20,000 - these are bigger than even the most detailed walking maps currently available in the shops. Unique mapping features - walking times, directions, tricky junctions, places to stay, places to eat, points of interest. These are not general-purpose maps but fully-edited maps drawn by walkers for walkers. Itineraries for all walkers - whether hiking the 256-mile route in its entirety or sampling the highlights on day walks or short breaks. Includes detailed public transport information for all access points. Practical information for all budgets - what to see, where to stay, where to eat: pubs, B&Bs, hotels, campsites, bunkhouses, hostels.Edward de la Billiere is the author of 'The Pennine Way: British Walking Guides', published 2004 under ISBN 9781873756577 and ISBN 1873756577.
