Pathfinder Edinburgh, Pentlands & Lothians

by Terry Marsh

Published 15 November 2010

The countryside around Edinburgh is ideal for walking comprising a superb mixture of rolling hills, expansive moorland and attractive rivers, bounded by fertile lowlands and an impressive coastline. The stunning views from Arthur's Seat and the Braid Hills give amazing panoramas of Edinburgh itself. Stretches of the sandy Lothian coast are explored on the John Muir Way from Cockenzie and at Gullane, with the more rugged Berwickshire coast featuring at North Berwick and Dunbar. The atmospheric and simple beauty of the Lammermuirs, Moorfoots and Pentlands provide a hard to match excellence in breezy and peaceful upland wanderings.

There can be no better way of exploring Lancashire than by foot; it has a number of satisfying long-distance paths - both inland and coastal - and, as this book shows, opportunity for a great number of circular walks in highly distinctive surroundings, including the Lune Valley, Formby Point and Forest of Bowland.
