GREAT WALKS OF BRITAIN

 W.H.Smith 1988.

Britain offers an unsurpassed variety of beautiful scenery, from wild, windswept moors to cool, green dales. From the highest point in the Peak District to the rocky tors of Dartmoor, there is no better way to enjoy the British countryside than to leave the roads and follow the footpaths that cross every contour. Great Walks of Britain give detailed maps, directions, and a description of features along the way for thirty-eight glorious walks. They vary from short, easy strolls to tough long-distance treks, and each walk is graded for difficulty. Together they form a superb catalogue of the best in the British countryside. The text brings to life all the natural atmosphere and splendour of each area covered through an intimate and informed commentary, written by authors who have spent many years walking the routes. This is complemented by superb colour photographs, making this book a must for everyone from the enthusiast to the casual visitor – and even the ‘armchair’ walker.

Both the book and the dust jacket are in excellent condition. A nice item – this book will have you reaching for your boots and waterproof! One word of warning however, it is heavy, so parcel or surface postage might be the order of the day!
