Kenneth Bunn Maps, tracks and trails have been a 'Way of Life' for Ken for as long as he can remember. He has written about and illustrated almost every walk he has ever done resulting in an unrivalled record of North Country Walks and History. He continues to create and lead new walks throughout the region. Following his first book for Trailguides', 'Walks Around Rothbury and Coquetdale', it felt appropriate that a second book should highlight another unique Northumbrian landscape. Hadrian's Wall Country seemed a natural choice since Ken has been walking in this area for over four decades. As mentioned in his previous book, only those who actually walked with Ken had access to his personal write-ups. Again, for the first time Trailguides give you eight of his favourite Wall Country Walks.
