Description
A small area with great variety.
Arnside and Silverdale offer coast, woodland, wetlands, and limestone formations within a relatively compact landscape. This book brings together short walks that showcase the area’s different sides. This makes it useful both for a dedicated stay and when you want to include a few quieter walking days en route to or from other parts of North West England.
Fifteen walks for manageable outings.
The routes are chosen for short walking days, with options suited to both nature enthusiasts and regular walkers. The selection lets you vary between viewpoints, woodland, and coastal stretches, rather than following one long continuous path. You can use the book for a single good outing or choose new options across several days in the same area.
Maps and practical information for each walk.
Ordnance Survey maps support the step-by-step descriptions, while information on parking, facilities, and places to eat makes planning easier. Photos and highlight descriptions help you compare the walks. The compact format is easy to carry, offering a clear alternative to larger regional guides when you want shorter outings in this particular landscape.
Time to see more than just the path.
Short distances allow room to stop at bird-rich areas, viewpoints, and small villages along the way. Terrain and local conditions should still be considered, especially along the coast and after rain. The guide suits visitors who want to choose a walk based on weather, energy levels, and interest, and who appreciate that a manageable walk can hold many different natural experiences throughout the day.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain people who wanted to share detailed knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still shapes the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
