Description
A grand journey through the landscapes of Great Britain.
The End to End Trail spans between Land’s End and John o’ Groats, offering a cross-section of the country on foot. This guide connects several well-known trails and regions, from coastal and cultural landscapes in the south to more remote highlands in the north. The route prioritizes trails and natural terrain over direct travel along main roads, aiming for a continuous walking experience.
Sixty-one stages that can be distributed across multiple trips.
The approximately 1956-kilometer route is presented in 61 daily stages, with many long days en route. This stage division provides a concrete basis for a continuous journey but can also be used when the trip is broken up. This makes the book relevant for those who wish to walk across Great Britain over time, without having to dedicate all the weeks at once.
Maps and practical support for the overall plan.
Route descriptions and maps illustrate how connections between different hiking areas can be managed. Practical information assists in evaluating stages and logistics. The book is useful for understanding the entirety of such an extensive walk, from transport to the start and finish points to how shorter sections can be adapted to personal holiday periods and conditions.
For experienced walkers with long-term plans.
The total distance, repeated long walking days, and varied terrain make this a significant undertaking. The northern and more remote sections demand different skills than the cultural landscapes in the south. This guide is suitable for readers who can plan independently and intend to use the book as a foundation, alongside updated information on local conditions, accommodation, and connections throughout the journey.
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.
