A guidebook to day walks in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB), across Cumbria, County Durham and
Northumberland. The book includes 50 walks exploring England's
'last wilderness', ranging from 5 miles (8km) to 14 miles (23km).
The walks, which work well from bases such as Hexham, Barnard
Castle, Alston, Kirkby Stephen and Appleby are mostly circular,
with a smaller selection of linear routes, and there is something
to suit all abilities over a variety of terrain. Route descriptions
are illustrated with OS 1:50,000 mapping and colour photographs,
and the book includes details of local transport services,
accommodation and tourist information centres. The walks cover a
variety of terrain, from flat railway trackbeds to pathless
moorland, and provide the opportunity to explore the striking
geological features and fascinating industrial heritage of the
area.
Devised with the aim of linking the two great seas that cradle
Andalucia, the Andalucian Coast to Coast Walk crosses the heart of
southern Spain, from the small Mediterranean village of Maro to
Bolonia beach on the Atlantic seaboard, a day's walk from the
bustling port of Tarifa. A village-to-village walk, the 416km trail
follows the Penibetic mountain range across the provinces of
Malaga, Granada and Cadiz, passing through six beautiful Natural
Parks and visiting some of the region's most picturesque and
characterful towns and villages, including Ronda. This guide
presents the waymarked route in 21 day stages, each with clear
route description and mapping and notes on the villages and other
local points of interest. You'll find all the practical information
needed to plan and execute a successful trip, with advice on when
to go, transport, accommodation and food. Useful contacts and a
Spanish-English glossary can be found in the appendices. Boasting
magnificent mountain scenery, charming villages and a rich and
fascinating history, it is little surprise that Andalucia has long
been popular with visitors. The Andalucian Coast to Coast Walk
showcases the vibrant culture and enchanting landscapes for which
the region is famed: it takes in mountain views and dramatic
gorges, flower-strewn valleys and cultivated fruit groves, with
highlights including Moorish Ronda, Roman ruins at Bolonia and the
traditional 'pueblos blancos' (white villages).
