This is Book 19 in the exciting new series of full-colour "Pocket
Walks", being small, practical sized guidebooks aimed at the less
serious rambler. Full colour photographs and colourful sketch maps

that all walks are less than five miles in length (though averaging
4 miles each, they are all very definitely worthwhile outings),
making them ideal for families, leisure walkers, and those
constrained by either time or other limitations. Concise route
descriptions are complemented by ample background information. This
title deals with Sedbergh and Dentdale in the north-western corner
of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Twenty superb walks use
starting points such as Sedbergh, Cautley, Howgill and Dent. Places
visited include Garsdale, Carlingill, Deepdale, Cautley Crag and

The classic high-level walk from Irish Sea to North Sea Originally
devised by the legendary Alfred Wainwright, the Coast-to-Coast Walk
has steadily become one of Britain' s most popular long-distance
walks, and it is not hard to see why. Planned to seek out the most
spectacular high ground across the country, it takes you from the
sea in the west to the sea in the east via three of England' s
loveliest National Parks: the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales
and the North York Moors. Its 192 miles, from the quiet Cumbrian
village of St Bees to Robin Hood' s Bay, are a substantial test of
endurance that will take even a fit walker a fortnight to
accomplish, but also a wonderfully varying walk, from sea cliffs to
craggy mountains and lakes, then across rolling dales and finally
heather moorland. For everyone who reaches Wainwright' s Bar at
journey' s end on the North Yorkshire coast it will have been the
walk of a lifetime.
One name above all others has become associated with walking in the
Lake District: Alfred Wainwright, whose seven-volume Pictorial
Guide to the Lakeland Fells, first published in 1955- 66, has
become the definitive guidebook. Wainwright' s meticulously
hand-drawn maps, diagrams and drawings take walkers up the 214
principal hills and mountains of the Lake District, describing the
main routes of ascent from different starting points, as well as
lesser-known variants, showing the summit viewpoint panoramas and
the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks. Every
page combines words and illustrations to present the routes in a
way that is original, visually appealing and easy to follow. This
new edition of Wainwright' s Walking Guide to the Lake District
Fells has been comprehensively revised. Paths, maps, diagrams and
route descriptions have been checked and corrected throughout.
These revisions have been undertaken by writer and designer Clive
Hutchby, author of The Wainwright Companion. The Far Eastern Fells,
Book Two of Wainwright' s Walking Guide, covers the entire area
east of Kirkstone Pass, bordered by Ullswater in the north and
Windermere in the south, and includes the ascents of High Street,
Ill Bell, Place Fell and Wansfell.
These attractive and cleverly structured guides will give walkers
ten of the best short circular walks along each of the five
sections of the 630-mile long South West Coast Path in a popular
pocket-size format. With clear information, an overview and
introduction for each walk, expertly written numbered directions,
large scale Ordnance Survey maps, superb eye-grabbing panoramic
photographs, and interpretation of points of interest along the
way, these guides set a new standard in clarity and ease-of-use.
Featured walks in the South Devon Coast include: Gara Point, Bolt
Tail, Bolt Head, Prawle Point, Start Point, Budleigh Salterton,
Sidmouth, Branscombe and Beer Head.
