near, yet so far apart in what they offer. Morecambe, the
traditional seaside resort, its 'Bring me Sunshine' favourite son
Eric Morecambe and Victoria Wood's 'two soups' cafe. Plus, its
awesome 1930's Art Deco Midland Hotel, haunt of Coco Chanel and
Laurence Olivier. Lancaster, with its Roman remains, its
impregnable 'John o' Gaunt' castle and characterful Georgian
buildings, built in part from slave-trade profits. Notorious

This guidebook describes 30 walking routes along the Devon-Dorset
coast. The majority of the routes hug the shoreline between Torbay
and Swanage, while others venture inland on the Dorset Downs. The
walks range in length from 3 to 20 miles (5 to 33km) and are
suitable for most walkers, with shorter routes alongside plenty of
more challenging, full-day hikes. As well as detailed descriptions
for every walk, accompanied by OS maps, there are details on
available parking, points of interest along the way and advice on
the terrain covered. The guide has been divided into areas: Devon's
Red Beds, the Lias, Chesil Beach, Chalk walks (Lulworth and inland)
and the Isle of Purbeck. The geological descriptions are
accompanied by strata diagrams, geological timelines, explanations
of the creation of the various sedimentary rocks along the coast,
and discussion of how and why the various formations formed
millennia ago. The incredible - yet readable - detail brings these
walks and the landscape alive. The Jurassic Coast of Devon and
Dorset, stretching between Exeter and Bournemouth, is a geological
wonderland. Natural wonders like Chesil Beach, Durdle Door and
fossils so numerous you'll be tripping over them, combine with
southern England's rolling Downs, tiny villages, beaches and sunny
summers to provide a stunning and awe-inspiring landscape to
explore.

A guidebook to 44 circular walks in the south and west of the
Yorkshire Dales National Park, with bases including Sedbergh,
Malham, Grassington, Skipton, Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale. The walks
cover the valleys of Wharfedale, Littondale, Malhamdale,
Ribblesdale and Dentdale - each with its own distinctive landscape
and character. Also included is the Yorkshire Three Peaks, a 23
mile (37km) challenge to bag three summits - Pen-y-ghent, Whernside
and Ingleborough. The walks range between 3.5 and 13 miles in
length and showcase Yorkshire's diverse landscapes, beautiful views
and rich heritage. With the exception of the Three Peaks walk, they
are designed to suit most abilities: steeper sections are rare and
usually short-lived. Detailed route description and 1:50,000 OS
mapping are provided for each route, along with information on
nearby points of interest and facilities. Highlights include
delightful riverside walking in Wharfedale, spectacular views of
the distant Howgills and Lake District Fells, and the arresting

Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the Forest of Bowland, an
area of 310 square miles, and the 'bewitching' countryside of
Pendle to the south. The walks range between 3 and 12.5 miles in
length and are all illustrated with extracts of OS mapping. The
diverse range of routes include four Marilyns - Ward's Stone,
Pendle Hill, Longridge Fell and Fair Snape Fell. The walks are
spread across the region, with bases including Caton, Dunsop
Bridge, Slaidburn, Clitheroe and Pendle. All the walks are
punctuated with snippets of information on the natural and cultural
history of the region, from witches to wildlflowers. The Forest of
Bowland and Pendle provide vastly differing terrain - from the lush
farmlands of the Ribble valley to the more rugged rough pastures of
the Forest of Bowland uplands and the huge boggy uplifts of the
main Bowland massif itself.
