Description
A vast landscape in a compact selection of walks.
Northumberland offers both inland and coastal areas, characterized by ancient castles, charming villages, and open landscapes. This book compiles a clear selection of short walks from various parts of the region, making it easy to use during a holiday where you wish to combine walks with other experiences.
Fifteen walks with diverse highlights.
Starting points are located around Wooler, Rothbury, Alnwick, and the coast. The selection showcases historical coastal environments and areas near well-known sites such as Dunstanburgh and Lindisfarne. The walks are designed as shorter excursions, allowing you to choose based on your accommodation and how much of the day you wish to spend on foot.
Maps and practical information for each walk.
Ordnance Survey maps are integrated with the route descriptions, providing information on parking, facilities, and potential refreshment stops. Images and descriptions of attractions assist in choosing among the options. The compact format is useful while on the go, and the book also provides a solid foundation for planning the day’s excursion from your accommodation.
For flexible walking days along coasts and valleys.
This guide is suitable for families, visitors, and regular walkers seeking shorter alternatives to longer treks. Coastal sections can be exposed to wind, and local conditions must be assessed before setting out. Choose based on terrain and weather, and actively utilize the access information when combining your walk with visits to the area’s historical sites.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
