Swaledale & Richmondshire (Short Scenic Walks)

This brand new title is the latest addition to the updated series of Paul Hannon's 'Short Scenic Walks' guidebooks. This title covers one of the principal, most scenic valleys of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The principle feature is that all walks are less than fivemiles in length, offering a perfect half day's stroll for families, casual walkers and all who want to enjoy a leisurely exploration of Britain's outstanding country landscapes. A range of enhancements include a wider geographical spread, in this case adding some pleasant walks in the Richmondshire district beyond Swaledale's historic 'capital' of Richmond. This extended volume includes all walks from the previous title 'Swaledale', which is now out of print. With starting points such as Reeth, Muker, Gunnerside, Ravensworth, Keld and Richmond, the book's many highlights include Grinton Moor, Arkengarthdale, Stanwick Fort, Tan Hill and the Swale Gorge.In addition to being more visually appealing than their predecessors, with a more modern house style, this new series offers 30 walks rather than 20, and these more substantial books feature a full spine rather than wire-stitched binding. Over 30 colour photographs depict features and landscapes along the routes.
