The national trails - Paddy Dillon

An inspirational guidebook to Britain's National Trails - 19 long-distance walking routes through England, Wales and Scotland. Together, these routes (National Trails in England and Wales and Scotland's Great Trails) cover well over 3100 miles (5000km), exploring the rich scenic and historic countryside of Britain.

If you've ever wanted to walk a National Trail, this larger format book is perfect for planning, offering stage by stage overviews for each route including the popular South West Coast Path, Hadrian's Wall Path, Pennine Way, West Highland Way, Cotswold Way, Offa's Dyke Path, South Downs Way, Southern Upland Way and many others.

Outline schedules for each of the National Trails allow you compare the routes and choose your next walking trail. Whether relatively short and easy, or longer and more strenuous, there's a challenge for you. Basic day-by-day route descriptions for each trail are illustrated with maps and profiles, helping you choose the best routes to walk. Information is provided on access to and from the routes, maps, public transport, guidebooks, TICs, accommodation and useful websites.
