The definitive guidebook to the entire 3,000-mile length of the new
England Coast Path. For anyone planning a trip to the coast or a UK
summer holiday, the new England Coast Path national trail is a
hugely exciting prospect, and this guidebook shows you how to make
the most of every single glorious mile. Environmentalists,
volunteers, campaigners, land owners and politicians all came
together to create this 'ninth wonder of the world', and from the
opening of the path in 2020 onwards, anyone has been able to walk
and wild camp along the entire 3,000-mile length of the English
coast. It's a fantastic opportunity for all walkers, campers, fans
of the coast and the outdoors. Stephen Neale has spent many happy
months walking, camping and surveying the path, and from that
experience has written a fantastically detailed and rich guidebook
covering the route itself, along with everything from the best
places to swim, hunt for fossils and eat seafood to hidden away
beaches and canoeing spots. Fully updated for its second edition,
with 100 extra adventures from the newly opened sections of the
path and spectacular new aerial photography, the book is divided up
into the 16 coastal counties and features 1,100 places to see, camp
and explore around the coast. Each place has map coordinates and
basic directions from the path, allowing walkers to either visit
specific places or link highlights together, walking between them
along the path. The England Coast Path represents what makes
England so great: a little bit mad, a little bit proud, and the
lucky host to one of the most spectacular and wild coastlines in
the world. With this book you too can join the adventure.
Between the state's two major population centers, Pittsburgh and

and camping. Best Tent Camping: Pennsylvania by author Matt Willen
provides a guide to the 50 best places in the state to pitch a tent
and spend the night-without being bothered by the noise of loud
portable stereos, large recreational vehicles, and crowds. In
addition to providing campers with essential information about each
campground (including season, rates, facilities, and how to reserve
a site), the guide identifies the best sites at the best
campgrounds, offers information on exciting day trips, suggests
hikes and activities accessible from the campgrounds, and describes
the flora and fauna campers might encounter on a trip. From the
Pocono Mountain region to the Allegheny National Forest, the Laurel
Highlands to the suburbs of Philadelphia, Best Tent Camping:
Pennsylvania is an indispensable guide for the person who likes to
sleep in a tent not far from the convenience of the car.
