A walk across the width of Northern England from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on Yorkshire's east coast is a most popular endeavour. This is a new, full-colour edition of our popular guide previously called A Northern coast to Coast. The author, working with local officers and conservation officials, has improved on the other routes by keeping strictly to rights-of-way and permitted paths and avoiding the easily eroded soft peat areas. The amount of road walking, too, has been drastically reduced, making this new route an altogether more satisfactory walk. The book includes an accommodation guide. The guide is divided into three sections. The first gives the route description, from west to east, annotated as appropriate with notes of geological, historical, industrial, sociological and natural history interest. The second section gives the route description only in an east to west direction, cross- referenced to the west- east description for explanations of points of interest or comment. The final section comprises a Handbook and Accommodation Guide, and contains a wealth of information of potential usefulness to the Northern Coast to Coast walker.
