All the mapping you need to complete the 180 mile/290km
long-distance Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail from Amroth

whole trail, but it lends itself equally to day walking. It is
suitable for walkers at all levels of experience. This booklet of
Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps has been designed for
convenient use on the trail. It shows the full and up-to-date line
of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, along with the relevant extract
from the OS Explorer map legend. It can be used when walking the
trail in either direction. It is conveniently sized for slipping
into a jacket pocket or top of a rucksack. This booklet is included
with the Cicerone guidebook to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
National Trail. Renowned for its spectacular scenery, flowers, and
wildlife, this route through the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
takes in some of Britain's finest coastal walking, in an area
steeped in history.
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

flowers and countless seabirds; summer days on the beaches; autumn
colours and seals. Winters are generally mild but snow occasionally
visits high ground and coastal storms can be ferocious.
This guidebook - which includes both a guide to the route and a
separate mapping booklet - describes the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
National Trail, a scenic 180-mile long-distance walk from Amroth,
near Tenby, to St Dogmaels, north of Newport. The route, which
takes roughly two weeks to complete, is divided into 14 stages of
between 9 and 17 miles. Neither technically demanding nor difficult
to navigate, the trail is suitable both for experienced distance
walkers and those looking to cut their teeth on a long-distance
route. Detailed route instructions are accompanied by 1:100,000 OS
mapping. A route summary table and comprehensive trek planner are
also included, with invaluable information on transport,
accommodation and facilities en route. The guidebook is packed with
interesting snippets of information about the places, landscapes
and wildlife encountered along the way. Also included is a 1:25,000
OS map booklet which shows the full route, providing all the
mapping needed to complete the trail. Showcasing the spectacular
coastal scenery of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this
National Trail takes in soaring rugged cliffs, serene inlets, broad
sandy beaches and quaint coastal villages as it follows the twists
and turns of this magical coastal path.
The 72 mile (116km) Ribble Way is described in seven stages,
ranging from 8.25 to 17 miles (13.3 to 27.4km). The route follows
the Ribble valley, from the estuary mouth near Preston to the
river's source on Cam Fell in the Yorkshire Dales. The route might
not be the most challenging of Long Distance routes, but the
contrast through a succession of different landscapes can be
immensely satisfying for novice and experienced walkers alike. The
guide provides detailed route descriptions, OS mapping and a route
summary table, with variants included for day walkers. Information
is included on points of interest along the route, plus there's
also background information on the landscape, wildlife, and
history, and planning details on when to go, where to stay and what
to take. The River Ribble springs from the limestone of the
Yorkshire Dales, high on Cam Fell in the heart of Three Peak
country. Initially forcing a passage between high, rugged moorland
hills, it then breaks free to wind through gentler countryside
south of Settle, meandering lazily through alternating pasture and
ancient woodland, where old manor houses and early 18th-century
village cottages still hold sway against the pervasive tide of
modernity. Beyond Preston, the river dramatically changes yet
again, trained to run straight to the Irish Sea, but further to the
west, a vast expanse of the salt marsh still remains and attracts
huge populations of birds, particularly in winter.
This guidebook offers a wide range of walks from the source of the
river Lune in the Howgill Fells to Glasson Dock, just below
Lancaster. The 40 day walks range between 3 and 11 miles in length

walks start in the north of the region and follow the River Lune
southwards to the sea, with bases including Orton, Sedbergh, Kirkby
Lonsdale and Lancaster. They explore the infinitely varied
landscape as the river Lune flows between the Lake District and
Yorkshire Dales national parks and the Forest of Bowland and
Arnside and Silverdale Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Also
included is an outline of a 60-mile, 6-day route walking the River
Lune from end to end, with lots of background information about the
area's history, geology and also all the local facilities to help
you plan your trip. There are magnificent views from the empty
hilltops, delightful natural woodlands full of wildlife, stunning
secluded side valleys and open moorland vistas to be explored in
Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire.

Highlands and range from easy loch-side strolls to strenuous
expeditions onto some of the area's highest mountains. Walking in

Scotland there are 277, with 45 of them situated in the Southern
Highlands. Walks taking in the mountains of the National Park
include Beinn Dubh, Ben Vorlich, The Cobbler, Ben Ledi, Ben Lomond
and Ben Venue. The Trossachs are particularly spectacular when
clothed in autumn colours and provided the setting for The Lady of
the Lake and Rob Roy, by Sir Walter Scott. The Ochil Hills, Loch
Lomond and the West Highland Way are also included, and there is an
opportunity to see Stirling and the Wallace monument, overlooking
the scene of the Scottish patriot's victory over Edward I.
