THEY are wild and tamed, high and low, coastal and inland, and they are all fabulous walking destinations.
From week-long treks to afternoon strolls, from the rugged Scottish Highlands to the chocolate-box pretty Cotswolds, from the dramatic Yorkshire Dales to the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Britain offers the enthusiastic walker a cornucopia of regions to explore on foot.
And, if you can't be out there, walking, delighting in views and enjoying nature in all its beauty, the next best thing is to be admiring photographs of new walking locations and reading about them as a prelude to planning your next trip. Which is where this book comes in.
Written and photographed by Country Walking magazine's experts, they have explored, discovered, mapped and assessed many of the finest paths through this country's most beautiful landscapes.
They have tested the best places to eat and drink, and sampled delicacies from local food producers - all in the name of research - to ensure your next walking trip is as special as it possibly could be. And the walk experts have sourced and checked all the practical information, from the maps you'll need to handy guide books, useful addresses, and recommended routes, to make your next trip as easy as it could be.
