'I have always found that I can trust the Cicerone guides and I'm sure this one written by Paddy Dillon, who has produced many successful guides for this publisher, will be as reliable as the other. Wherever you go walking, climbing or trekking in the world there is almost certainly a Cicerone guide available to help you.

This new guidebook offers readers both gentle riverside strolls, passing waterfalls and flower-filled meadows, and longer, rugged moorland walks, and includes vast areas now designated to as 'access land'.

Paddy is an indefatigable long-distance walker who has walked all of Britain's national trails and several major European trails. I must say that I'm particularly impressed by the clear, colourful maps with their helpful contours which illustrate each walk.'
