Alan Hall’s Cicerone guide to Walking in Northumberland is an extensive survey of some of the best walking opportunities in one of England’s most northerly counties. A collection of 36 walks guides those exploring the area through a diverse landscape ranging from wild walks, craggy ascents & forest treks to gentle riverside strolls. Endless miles of sandy bays, rippling dunes & rocky points resonate with the region’s rich history as the walks lead you through one of the cradles of northern Christianity & past silhouetted coastal castles. The guide is organized into four sections
- the Cheviot Hills, Crags & Dales, Northumbrian Shores & Long Distance walks
- each providing a revealing insight into some of the county’s most beautiful landscapes, both inland & on the coast of the North Sea. An extensive introduction provides information on the county, climate & weather patterns, flora & fauna & a history timer chart giving a snapshot of Northumberland through the ages. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by Ordnance Survey extracts mapping the route ahead as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the region.
