A guidebook to the Cumbria Way, a 73-mile long distance path
through the heart of the English Lake District from Ulverston to
Carlisle. The route is largely low-level, but this book also
describes alternative mountain days which add the Coniston Fells,
Glaramara and Skiddaw en route. The guide divides the route into 5
stages of between 12 and 16 miles, but there is plenty of
opportunity to plan your itinerary for a more easy-going 7 to 8
days. This guidebook also provides useful information for every
stage, from accommodation to available facilities en route, as well
as an annotated OS map and details on points of interest.
This is the official guide to the Shropshire Way, which consists of
a northern and southern loop that both start in Shrewsbury. Each
loop can be completed in a week or combined to form a two week 182
mile (290km) circuit that visits Stiperstones, Ludlow, Wenlock
Edge, Ironbridge and the Wrekin. Split into 15 stages, this walk
requires moderate fitness to cover the daily distance of 10 to 15
miles. The guide also includes the Stretton Skyline Walk, a 20 mile
(32km) walk over Shropshire's peaks and ridges, which can be split
over two days with an overnight stay in Church Stretton. For both
the main route and the higher-level Stretton Skyline Walk, this
guide provides in-depth route description and 1:50,000 OS mapping
to aid navigation, along with information about accommodation,
public transport and local services. The guide also offers plenty
of insight into Shropshire's vibrant history and fascinating
geology. The Shropshire Way visits some of England's most serene
and beautiful scenery, as well as key historical sites including
Ironbridge, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Through
tranquil countryside and medieval market towns, this route explores
all the best that the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding National
Beauty (AONB) has to offer.
