Description
Let your next journey begin here. Great Britain is a destination where a walk can become an important part of the holiday, even when you’re not planning a dedicated hiking trip. Best Day Walks Great Britain brings together 60 day walks of varying length and difficulty, so you can find something that fits your trip.
Kinder Scout in the Peak District, the coastal landscape of Yorkshire and a full day on Dartmoor are among the experiences highlighted. The book covers England, Scotland and Wales, with areas such as the Lake District, Devon, Cornwall and London. The walks range from a few hours to a full day, and the selection offers different ways to experience the landscape.
What the guide offers. Maps and directions help you compare distance, terrain and difficulty. Regional profiles cover transport and places to stay, among other things, and several nearby walk suggestions make it possible to build on a good base. Let your interests decide whether it’s the coast, the hills or a quieter day between other travel plans.
From the urge to walk to a concrete plan. Use the walk descriptions to compare options before you decide. How much of the day do you want to spend outdoors, and what kind of terrain do you want to walk in? Maps and information on start and end points help you see how the walk fits into the rest of your holiday. This gives you a better basis for choosing according to your own interests than simply following the name of the most famous spot.
A physical walking guide makes it easy to browse through several options together with your travel companions. Find a few options you’d like to explore further, and let the plan keep some flexibility. A shorter walk can be just as good a choice as a full day outdoors. The book can be used as a supplement to a regular travel guide, or as inspiration for a holiday where day walks take up more space.
