The ten national parks of England and Wales, with their great variety of landscapes and types of terrain, offer an immense wealth of walking opportunities. But the prospective walker, approaching a park that he does not know intimately, might be forgiven for not knowing where to start. This book, published in collaboration with the Ramblers' Association, aims to convey the unique character of each park. The authorn not only paints a general portrait of the walking areas of the parks, but also recommends specific walks which make the most of what each park has to offer whilst generally avoiding the 'honey-pots". A concluding chapter looks at the future of the national parks system. The advice on transport, weather conditions and maps is invaluable, and a very full bibliography includes guidance on the publications available locally for each park. Everyone - including serious hikers and visitors to the parks wanting to know where to explore - will find this book to be a passport to the pleasures provided by some of our finest scenery.
