All-in-one, practical guide to walking the Coast to Coast Path across northern England inspired by Alfred Wainwright, the most popular of the 18 long-distance UK paths. Fully revised 9th edition of this classic 191-mile walk from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. Crossing three national parks - the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors - it samples the very best of the English countryside - rugged mountains and lakes, gentle dales and stone-built villages; wild moorland; sea cliffs and fishing villages. The guide includes: * 109 large-scale walking maps - at just under 1:20,000 - showing route times, places to stay, places to eat, points of interest, and 9 town plans. * 14 colour stage maps to help plan your walk, including hills and descents. * Places to stay with reviews - campsites, bunkhouses, hostels, B&Bs, pubs and hotels. * Places to eat with reviews - cafes, teashops, pubs, takeaways, restaurants. * What to see from the path - history, culture, natural history. * Comprehensive public transport information - for all access points on the path. * Flora and fauna - four page full colour flower guide, plus an illustrated section on local wildlife. * Itineraries for all walkers - whether walking the route in its entirety over two weeks or sampling the highlights on day walks and short breaks. * Green hiking - understanding the local environment and minimizing our impact on it. * GPS waypoints - also downloadable from the Trailblazer website page.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Reviews for previous editions: 'An excellent guide' - Country Walking magazine; 'It would be impossible to do this route without a copy of the superb Coast to Coast Path by Henry Stedman and Daniel McCrohan (Trailblazer).' - The Observer Magazine; 'The most complete guide - with all the detail you'll need for a walk in Wainwright's footsteps.' - The Sunday Times; 'The maps are clearer and more easily read than Wainwright's.' - Backpack Magazine; 'There's something about completing a straight walking route rather than a circular one that gives me more of a sense of achievement. And adventure. If that route is coast to coast then my senses are magnified. At just under 192 miles, this is no day trip but it's all the better for it. With highly detailed pathways, and truthful accounts of overnight stays, this has to be the most definitive guide to this route so far.' - Escape Magazine;
