  The North York Moors National Park is an area of superlative natural beauty and remarkable contrasts. The region boasts high, wild moorlands, miles of dramatic, unspoilt coastline and acres of dense, ancient forest. From the tranquil banks of the River Dove to the rugged, windswept expanse of Goathland Moor, the area presents a marvellous variety of scenery for the serious hiker and casual walker alike. It also includes such popular and well-known sites as Rievaulx Abbey, the Bridestones and the Kilburn White Horse. This book includes 25 of the best walks in this region, ranging from short easy strolls to tough moorland expeditions. The introduction provides background information on the area and outlines its special characteristics. The walks are graded for difficulty. For each, detailed maps and directions are given together with descriptions of the features of interest along the way.
