Product Description
Review
"Just some positive feedback. I bought my first pathfinder book for Durham, and it's given me a new lease of life. I've now bought five others, and have been doing at least one walk a week. I can follow the guides easily, and it's made it really to access beautiful walks. Thanks." --Peter - Pathfinder Walker
Product Description
This walking guide covers both the Cumbrian and Durham sides of the North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Beauty, and also extends eastwards across Durham to the North Sea Coast. The area contains some of the finest moorland in the country, explored here in walks across Bowes Moor and the grouse moors near Holwick, but there are also plenty of relaxing, low-level walks beside rivers, through woodlands and forests, by the coast, and along former railway tracks. Durham Castle and Cathedral, Brough Castle, High Force the mightiest of England's waterfalls, and Causey Arch, the world's earliest railway bridge, are featured.

I used to walk alot when I was younger, but had gotten out of the habit recently. We also live in a beautiful county and wanted to see more of it, so I decided to pick up this book based on some of the reviews for others in this series. Overall, I do like the book; it has a wide variety of walks ranging in difficulty, and covers a vast area (so there's plenty of variety). The little tidbits of information that accompany the walk descriptions are also quite fun, the print quality is excellent and the included maps are very useful.
But it also has its flaws, some quite serious. In several instances, the routes chosen are not necesarily the most logical or safe. Granted, circumstances may have changed since the book was written (the version I have was revised in 2008), but some warning might have been helpful when dealing with descents down very steep hills. Some of the descriptions are also misleading and/or confusing; we chose one walk based on the description that it was flat and well-marked, only to discover that although there were quite a few sign-posts, there were no apparent footpaths to follow.
The presence of the maps is this book's saving grace. Without them, it would have received a much worse rating. As long as you are prepared to take some of the instructions with a pinch of salt and use some common sense, this is a useful guide to pop in your rucksack

Guide is well written with (mostly) very clear instructions. Not used the GPS coordinates given, so cannot comment on those. Good range of walks for all abilities, taking you to some lovely spots. Published in 2008 so routes are up-to-date. The included maps are very useful. Only a (very!) minor point, but would be useful to have some indication of the nearest toilets, but hey, you can't have everything!
Highly recommended!
