You buy hillwalking guides to the Peak District, don't you? Or the
Black Mountains, or the Quantocks...? In any case, isn't Rome the
city of Seven Hills, and San Francisco the location for the
plunging downhill car chase in Bullitt? But London is also a city
of hills: Highgate Hill, Herne Hill, Shooters Hill, Muswell Hill,
Ludgate Hill - the place names alone denote the topography. But
until now there hasn't been a walking guide to the capital that
makes a point of seeking out and threading together all the
capital's high ground, summits and fabulously panoramic views...
Now, Hillwalking London provides ten routes, all round Greater
London, of striking high-level walking, to make you see this
amazing city in a new way. Here are the Seven Hills of Croydon; the
Sewardstone Hills north of Chingford; the string of former
telegraph stations stretching from New Cross Gate across to Forest
Hill, as well as cherished ascents like Hampstead Heath, Greenwich
Park and Richmond Hill. A Base Camp for refreshments is given for
every expedition.

Yorkshire resident, outdoors enthusiast and travel writer Mike
Bagshaw has thoroughly updated this new third edition of Bradt's
North York Moors & Yorkshire Wolds, part of Bradt's
award-winning series of Slow travel series of guides to UK regions.
It remains the only standalone guide to this region of contrasts.
Walkers, cyclists, wildlife-lovers, families, foodies and culture
vultures will find everything they need to plan and enjoy time
here. From magnificent cliffs and beaches along Yorkshire's
Heritage Coast and rolling hills in the North York Moors (one of
the original nine National Parks of England and Wales) to the
Wolds' tranquil chalk grasslands, this region offers remarkable
variety. Nestled at its heart is York, probably Britain's
best-preserved medieval city, with its stunning Minster, northern
Europe's largest Gothic cathedral. The region is increasingly
popular for outdoors pursuits, which feature strongly in this
guide. The Tour de Yorkshire cycle race has helped establish the
region as a cycling Mecca. Walkers can explore along ten
long-distance footpaths. Sandy beaches, rocky coves, stunning
woodlands and heather-clad moors make the destination ideal for
families keen to immerse children in nature. Whitby has become a
nationally acclaimed centre for whale- and dolphin-watching tours,
while wildlife-lovers can also delight in otters and adders, or
gawp at 'seabird skyscrapers' at Bempton Cliffs, including
England's only breeding colony of gannets, Europe's largest
seabird). This culturally resonant region harbours treats as
diverse as steam train journeys across remote moorland (as featured
in the Harry Potter and Mission Impossible films), local food and
drink (from seafood, meats and cheeses to independent breweries and
gastropubs), the Georgian opulence of Castle Howard (of Brideshead
Revisited fame), the Goth Weekend festival at Whitby (where Count
Dracula made landfall in Bram Stoker's novel), Britain's oldest
seaside resort (Scarborough), the country's tallest standing stone
(Rudston) and even the purported burial site of Beowulf (Boulby
Cliffs). With coverage of places not featured in other guidebooks
and extensive practical detail conveyed in an informative yet
laidback style, plus an emphasis on car-free travel, Bradt's North
York Moors & Yorkshire Wolds is the optimal guide to this
fascinating region.
This guide brings together a selection of the best walks in Malham
and the Three Peaks. The walks include hill climbs, moorland
tracks, and walks by becks and rivers.

horse riding and off-road cycling. The series provides complete GB

First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This guide describes a 624km section of French long-distance route
the GR34, following the north coast of Brittany from ever-popular
Mont-Saint-Michel to the port of Roscoff. (The full GR34 - also
known as 'Sentier des Douaniers', the Customs Officers Path -
totals some 2000km and follows in the footsteps of customs officers
of old who patrolled the coast in attempt to curb smuggling.) The
trail is waymarked and well maintained, offering mainly easy
walking, though there are a few more strenuous sections and some
short steep ascents and descents. It takes around a month to
complete but the guide also includes suggestions for four five-day
'highlight' sections. The route is described from east to west and
presented in 28 stages. For each stage, you will find clear route
description and mapping, summary statistics and notes on
facilities, accommodation, public transport connections and local
points of interest. The introduction offers plenty of practical
advice for planning and undertaking your trip, as well as overviews
of Brittany's fascinating history and culture. Selected
accommodation listings, useful contacts and a glossary can be found
in the appendices. The GR34 leads you through interesting and
varied scenery: high above the rocky shores of the Emerald Coast,
where waves crash, then elsewhere closer to the water, passing
innumerable inviting beaches. There are sea-cliffs and sandy coves,
pink granite boulder-fields and unique river estuaries, woodland
and heath. Although camping is a possibility, accommodation is
readily available in a mixture of bustling seaside resorts and
quieter fishing villages. As you hike the trail, you will discover
Brittany, a region rich in history and culture and with a
distinctive identity that sets it apart from the rest of France,
and you will uncover the beauty of this beguiling coastline.
Written by the acclaimed historical novelist Lee Jackson, this book
recreates the sights and sounds of Dickens' London and provides a
detailed itinerary for those keen to follow in the footsteps of
'The Inimitable Boz'. Each of the eight walks conjures up forgotten
scenes of London life - stage-coaches racing through the Borough;
herds of cattle driven through suburban streets to reach Smithfield
market; the uproar of a hanging outside Newgate Gaol - together
with directions to the most atmospheric and intriguing parts of the
Victorian metropolis which have survived into the twenty-first
century.
