Malcolm Robinson, SPI England
"Not only did I find the mysterious tales of interest in this book, but it was the eloquent and 'artful' description that the author presented that made the book more enjoyable to me. His 'wiry' descriptions of evil deeds and murders made each tale spring to life and one almost felt the sadness associated with them....All in all, Graham's latest book on 'Mysterious Walks', are like his previous books, writte in a stimulating style and brings the reader not only the opportunity to 'get out there and do some serious walking' but presents to the walker, an opportunity to learn more about hte area and its mysterious past. A thoroughly enjoyable book."

A new approach to walking in this popular region, with 30 routes which unravel the many varied mysteries of the Yorkshire Dales. These tales dig deep into the region's history and folklore follow in the macabre footsteps of the Swaledale corpse bearers, challenge the Penhill Giant in his own domain and listen for ghostly revelry at Ribblehead. The author provides his own decorative and extremely detailed maps. This is the fourth in Graham Dugdale's series of guides that transport walkers and armchair travellers into the enigmatic world of mystery and imagination.
