The National Trails: Complete Guide to Britain's National Trails by Paddy Dillon

Guidebook to Britain's National Trails - 19 long-distance walking routes through England, Wales and Scotland. Together, the National Trails cover well over 5000km (3100 miles), exploring the rich, scenic, historic countryside of Britain. Some trails are short and easy, while others are long and challenging. Some have a strong theme, following rugged coastlines or meandering rivers. Others use ancient cross-country routes or follow the courses of ancient boundaries. Packed with information, this guide will help you get out and walk the finest long-distance routes in the country. Outline schedules for each Trail allow you compare the routes and organise your own walking itinerary. Basic day-by-day route descriptions for each Trail are illustrated with maps and profiles. For each Trail information is provided on access to and from the route, maps, public transport, guidebooks, TICs, accommodation and useful websites.

The National Trails Reviews

'This book covers the 15 national trails of England, Wales plus four long-distance in Scotland. Paddy looks at each of them all in turn, unravelling their themes, what makes them special and to help us plan our next long walk.This is the book to savour as you start thinking about your next walk and where to go. I have to say that having had the book for over a week now, I find a great wish to walk them all, that is, those not yet done.This is the book you should have when you start considering your next adventure or for those days when the weather is foul and you are feeling low. It will remind you what a wonderful land we live in and what delightful walks we have.'(South West Coast Path Association / Autumn 2007)
