North Yorkshire books: Walking and Tours
	A Coast to Coast Walk: A Pictorial Guide (Wainwright Pictorial Guides) Originally compiled in the 1950s early 1960s, the Wainwright walking guides are perhaps the most distinctive and unusual such guides ever devised. The result of research by their namesake and author over a period of 13 years, the guides have retained their original format and design to this day. The books contain intricate hand drawn sketches by the author, detailing routes of ascent, and gradients of the hills in and around the Lake District and outlying regions. "A Coast to Coast Walk" was devised by Wainwright himself and stretches across 190 miles from St Bees Head on the East coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the West, passing through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. Price: £8.39 Publication: September 3, 2003
	Historic Walks in North Yorkshire This guide attempts to reveal some of the splendours of North Yorkshire. Accompanied by OS mapping and illustrated with colour photographs, the series of walks combine landscape with architecture and natural beauty with history. The walks take you from open moorland to more sheltered dales. Price: £9.00 Publication: June 2003
	South Pennine Walks: Thirty Circular Walks (Cicerone Guide) For the purpose of this guidebook the term 'South Pennines' is taken to refer to the expanse of hill country that straddles the Lancashire/Yorkshire border between the Yorkshire Dales and Peak National Parks. These 30 circular walks range from four to eight and a half miles and explore an area of remarkably varied and contrasting landscapes. They have been selected to delight both experienced and novice walkers, and vary from simple valley strolls (ideal as family half-day rambles) to more challenging moorland expeditions. Hand-written and profusely illustrated in Jack Keighley's highly distinctive style, each walk description contains parking information; a meticulously detailed map and concise route directions all together on the same page; a general description of the terrain, and notes on features of interest. Price: £5.99 Publication: June 30, 2004
	The North York Moors: A Walking Guide (Cicerone Guide) This guidebook offers 50 walks in seven regions throughout the North York Moors National Park, enabling walkers to discover and appreciate in turn the Tabular Hills, Hambleton Hills, Cleveland Hills, Northern Moors, High Moors, Eastern Moors and Cleveland Coast. For those walkers who like to rise to a challenge, the course of the classic Lyke Wake Walk is also offered, split over a four-day period to allow a more leisurely appreciation of the moors as it stretches across the national park from east to west. There are almost 750km (465 miles) of walking routes described throughout this book though the North York Moors could easily furnish many more splendid and enjoyable routes. The North York Moors National Park is broad, bleak and barren, displaying the largest continuous expanse of heather moorland in England. The moors offer a great sense of spaciousness, with extensive views under a 'big sky', but there are also dozens of deep, verdant dales full of charming scenes and hoary stone buildings, as well as a remarkable cliff coastline designated as Heritage Coast. Price: £12.00 Publication: July 31, 2005
