  A guidebook to day walking in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), across Cumbria, County Durham and Northumberland in the heart of northern England. The book includes 50 walks, from 8km to 23km, suitable for all abilities over a variety of terrain, all illustrated with OS mapping and colour photographs; and full details of local transport services, accommodation and tourist information centres in the area. Most are circular, so that anyone using a car can return to it at the end of the walk, but a few are linear and require the use of public transport for completion. It is easy for everyone to enjoy exploring the North Pennines, as the walking routes suit all abilities, from old, flat railway trackbeds to extensive, pathless, tussocky moorland.

  This work talks about the exhilarating walking in the area between the Yorkshire Dales and Hadrian's Wall. Wild moorland, beautiful riverside walks, woodlands, rich heritage - this uncrowded area has much to recommend it. The walks are a mixed bag, but they generally have a bias towards the wide-open moorlands and heights. This is what the North Pennines are all about - space, wilderness and exposure to the elements. There are a few easy, low-level walks suitable for the cautious or for use in nasty weather. Many of the higher routes aren't too difficult as they are routed along good clear tracks and paths. Levels of difficulty are given as easy, moderate or difficult. Most of the walks are circular and range from 4 to 13 miles. There are 42 day-walks in the guide, then a section of six longer walks presented in outline form only.
