Description
This handy pocket guidebook offers a detailed route description of an End to End cycle route from Land's End to John o' Groats, with over 350 OS grid refs included for GPS navigation. It is divided into 14 stages and contains information on where to stay, with full details of numerous B&Bs, campsites, cycle shops, small hotels, tourist information offices and hostels. The route has been designed to avoid the busier A roads as much as possible and follow minor roads and cycle paths. It also takes in some of the best landscapes of Britain from Dartmoor, the Wye Valley and the Welsh Marches, the Forest of Bowland, the Lake District through to the glorious Strathnaver Trail and the rugged coast of Caithness. Descriptions of key landmarks along the route are also included, from Tintern Abbey through to the Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow and beyond.
