Description
Moorlands, valleys, and a dramatic coast.
The North York Moors combine open ridges with wooded valleys, ancient villages, and a distinct coastline. This book provides a wide selection from across the national park, allowing you to find walks that showcase different aspects of the area rather than limiting your stay to a single valley or well-known coastal location.
Fifty walks with great variety.
The selection ranges from lower and shorter routes to more extensive moorland treks. The book also includes the longer Lyke Wake Walk, presented to make planning more manageable. This variety makes the guide suitable for both day-trip holidays and experienced hikers seeking a greater challenge.
Route descriptions and maps for planning.
Descriptions and maps show how the routes traverse various landscape types. Practical information on starting points and facilities helps you choose a suitable itinerary. Locations such as Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, and Helmsley provide natural landmarks, while the quieter inland areas offer many alternatives away from the most visited spots.
Choose heights and coast according to the conditions.
Open moorlands can be exposed to the weather, and winter conditions make certain routes significantly more demanding. Coastal walks and lower valleys provide alternatives when the heights are less appealing. The guide is suitable for those who want a wide selection of walks and wish to consider distance, terrain, and season before deciding on the day’s route.
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.
