A guidebook covering a 1935km (1200 miles) walk the length of Britain from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’Groats in Scotland, concentrating on the 'missing links' between the main long-distance trails covered in other guidebooks. The route is divided into 61 daily stages averaging just less than 32km (20 miles).

Seasons

Recommended April to end of June... for longer daylight, fewer midges, and avoiding the shooting seasons and winter weather in Scotland.

Difficulty

Two-month walk at average of 20 miles per day. Route keeps to hills where possible. For experienced walkers only: some remote mountan areas; navigation skills needed.

Must See

Seeing the best of Britain's hill country; coastal scenery in Devon/Cornwall; the Peak District; the Highlands; the people; the solitude. Reaching the end!

This guide describes a 2000km (1200 mile) route from Land’s End to John O’Groats, guiding you through the very best of the British countryside. The route follows paths and tracks rather than roads, and takes to the hills and wilder country whenever it can.

Along the way the route uses parts of the South West Coast Path, the Offa’s Dyke Path, the Pennine Way and the West Highland Way, all established long-distance walking trails. The other 60% of the route is fully covered by detailed route descriptions and maps, and many practical variations on the route are outlined as well.
