Bookshop Tours of Britain is a slow-travel guide to Britain,
navigating bookshop to bookshop. Across 18 bookshop tours, the
reader journeys from the Jurassic Coast of southwest England, over
the mountains of Wales, through England's industrial heartland, up
to the Scottish Highlands and back via Whitby, the Norfolk Broads,
central London, the South Downs and Hardy's Wessex. On their way,
the tours visit beaches, castles, head down coal mines, go to
whiskey distilleries, bird watching, hiking, canoeing, to stately
homes and the houses of some of Britain's best-loved historic
writers - and last but not least, a host of fantastic bookshops.
The book comprises 36 short walking routes between 4 and 14 miles
in Northumberland, England's most sparsely populated county.
Ranging from easy ambles and gentle woodland trails to long days on
the hills, there is something for all types of walker - and all
types of weather. Taking in the beautiful coast with its immense,
empty beaches and dramatic crag-top castles to the remote hills of
the Cheviots and Pennines, the whole county is covered. Most of the
routes are circular, but there are a few linear walks that make use
of local bus services. The landscapes are rich in history,
featuring Hadrian's Wall, Lindisfarne Priory, Bamburgh and
Dunstanburgh castles, and much more. The walks are divided into
five geographical areas: north-east Northumberland, National Park
(north), Kielder, Tyne Valley and National Park (south) and the
North Pennines. Each walk description contains information on
start/finish points, distance covered, total ascent, terrain,
approximate walking time, grade, maps required, transport options,
public toilets and refreshments, and is accompanied by 1:50k OS
mapping. The book also includes a handy route summary table.
