Hillside Publications Coast to Coast Walk: The Classic Walk Across
Book SynopsisThis is the long-awaited brand new edition of what was the first guidebook to this classic walk since the Wainwright original. The Coast to Coast Walk has enjoyed a greater surge in popularity since recent TV exposure, and remains Britain's favourite long-distance walk. Savour 192 glorious miles from St Bees on the Cumbrian Coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the Yorkshire Coast, passing through the unparalleled grandeur of three National Parks. The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors provide an endless array of attractions, and together create what can be the walk of a lifetime. After a re-survey of the entire route in Spring 2010, a wealth of changes and improvements to an already well-used guide sees the Hannon version return to the top of the pile. Re-drawn colour maps make the book even easier to use in the field, while a stunning collection of more than 100 full colour photographs depict the countless memorable features and landscapes along the way. The book has been extended by 16 further pages to improve the layout and content. As always, concise route descriptions are complemented by a veritable wealth of background information, along with an extensive introductory section dealing with planning the walk, including useful addresses, contacts and essential services; also an extremely useful log section.

HarperCollins Publishers Houses of the National Trust: New Edition
Book SynopsisFully revised and updated edition of the classic, stunningly illustrated guide to the country houses in the care of the National Trust, encompassing both interior and exterior design. The National Trust cares for a wealth of houses and historic buildings of all types, ranging from the grand to the quirky to the humble. This captivating book, fully revised and updated and featuring more houses than ever before, is a guide to some of the greatest architectural treasures of Britain, encompassing both interior and exterior design. The houses covered include spectacular mansions such as Petworth House and Waddesdon Manor, and more lowly dwellings such as the Birmingham Back to Backs and estate villages like Blaise Hamlet, near Bristol. In addition to houses, the book also covers fascinating buildings as diverse as churches, windmills, dovecotes, castles, follies, barns and even pubs. The book also acts as an overview of the country's architectural history, with every period covered: the medieval stronghold of Bodiam Castle, Tudor eccentricity in Hardwick Hall, 18th-century grandeur at Kedleston Hall, Victorian fantasy at Tyntesfield, and the clean-lined Modernism of The Homewood. The book teems with stories of the people who lived and worked in these buildings: wealthy collectors (Charles Wade at Snowshill), captains of industry (William Armstrong at Cragside), prime ministers (Winston Churchill at Chartwell) and pop stars (John Lennon at Mendips). Written in evocative, imaginative prose and illustrated with glorious images from the National Trust's photographic library, this book is an essential guide to the built heritage of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Trailblazer Publications Pilgrim Pathways: 1-2 day walks on Britain's
Book SynopsisMany people are inspired by the idea of going on a pilgrimage. TV series such as The Road to Rome and The Road to Santiago have shown that even the averagely unfit celeb can hobble through one. However, few of us have time for such long routes. So what to do? Pilgrim Pathways has the answer: 20 answers in fact. The pilgrimages in this guidebook are achievable for people with limited time and busy lives. The book was inspired by the belief that pilgrimage - variously defined as a journey on foot to a place that is holy, important or special - should be open to all. There are many ancient pilgrim paths in Britain, some long-forgotten but recently rediscovered, others well-established - but all of them are dauntingly long. Pilgrim Pathways offers routes inspired by the very best of them, distilled into walks that can be accomplished comfortably in two days. There are many one-day options. In pilgrimage, the journey itself is as important as the destination. Hence, these routes take in Britain's most inspiring landscapes and most powerfully spiritual places. They feature cathedrals, ancient monasteries and churches, holy wells, wayside crosses, and other places of veneration: places that have paid mute witness to millennia of prayer - including Avebury, Glastonbury, Lindisfarne, Canterbury, St David's. The book includes pilgrimages in London, Sussex, Kent, Wiltshire, Cornwall, on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, in Essex, East Anglia, Shropshire, in Pembrokeshire and Snowdonia in Wales and in the Scottish Borders, Iona and Fife. 20 selected walks through the spiritual landscape of Britain - how to be a weekend pilgrim Larger format (210mm x 150mm), full colour guide - each walk described and fully illustrated with over 120 photos Downloadable practical information - step-by-step route instructions, public transport information, places to eat and places to stay (for two-day walks) is included on the dedicated webpages linked via a code in the book. Also included is a downloadable gpx file for use on smartphone based mapping and GPS units.Trade Review'Interesting and enjoyable weekends' STRIDER, The Journal of The Long Distance Walkers Association, April 2021; 'Detailed guide to walking 20 ancient routes over one or two days.'
