The Beaten Track

by David Bathurst

Published 1 May 2001
David Bathurst laces up his walking boots as he undertakes the rough with the smooth of each of the 14 "big walks" of great Britain. From a riverside amble along the Thames Path to the rigours of the Coast to Coast, this is an account of these popular and well-beaten tracks, and an appreciation of the beauty and history of the Great British countryside. The book is more than a travel narrative, it provides detailed information on the distance, difficulties, topography and points of local interest of each walk, making it an indispensable accompaniment to any walking venture.
