  Price: £9.99    Add to Basket

  A colourful guide to 50 walks in the area ranging from 2 to 10 miles in length. Each walk has about a double page with facts, background infomation, directions and a simple road map. In this region I imagine it might be more useful to have an OS map with land topography.
