Around Pendle: Short Scenic Walks

This is book 16 in the exciting new series of full-colour "Pocket Walks", being small, practical sized guidebooks aimed at the less serious rambler. Full colour photographs and colourful sketch maps accompany each of the well described walks, with the bonus of making it an attractive souvenir of the area. Principal feature is that all walks are less than five miles in length (though averaging 4 miles each, they are all very definitely worthwhile outings), making them ideal for families, leisure walkers, and those constrained by either time or other limitations. Concise route descriptions are complemented by ample background information. This title deals with the Pendle district in East Lancashire. Twenty superb walks use starting points such as Barley, Wycoller, Foulridge and Trawden. Places visited include the iconic Pendle Hill, Newchurch, Boulsworth Hill and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. This is launched in unison with a guide to the neighboring Ribble Valley, which neatly complements this area and also adjoins the previously published guide to Bowland. Also published at the same time are 'Swaledale' and 'Sedbergh & Dentdale', both in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
