Description

This new series of walking guides is unique, with highly detailed hand-drawn trail maps featuring the kind of information not normally found on maps -- walking times, gradients, important directions, hotels, restaurants, and points of interest. As one reviewer put it, the maps are "user-friendly, with route-finding tips scribbled onto the map itself. Gradients are indicated by arrows -- great if you don't know contours from condors." Britain's network of long-distance trails enables walkers to explore some of the finest landscapes in the country's best walking areas. Each book includes: -- Planning and background information -- Practical information -- places to stay, places to eat, and transport information -- Itineraries -- day trips or the full 1-2 week route -- Trail guide -- Maps -- at a scale of 1:19,500 these are the most detailed available -- 16pp of color photographs A 163 mile National Trail around Land's End and the western tip of Britain with some of the best coastal walking in Europe. With ever-changing scenery, the footpath takes in secluded coves, tiny fishing villages, rocky headlands, bustling resorts, wooded estuaries, and golden surf-washed beaches. It is an area rich in wildlife with seabirds, wild flowers, dolphins, and seals.
