Ideal as a gift or coffee table book but not really a walkers guide, more an inspiration for travels.
by Robert Moore
Bought this gift for Christmas for a colleague. The feedback was amazing, she couldn’t put the book down and said it is the first book any visitor picks up off the coffee table!

Lovely, good quality book. Bought as a birthday present.

Bought this as a gift for an enthusiastic walker. A very interesting collection of walks – some well known and others less so. Well written and inspiring to anyone interested in exploring the outdoors on foot.
by M. Duggan
Bought as a Christmas gift for my trekking dad. It’s added a few more walks to his bucket list already!

There are plenty of books around for bucket list hikes, but this one has a completely new take on it. I love reading about the history and it gives a lovely theme to each route. My only (minor) criticism is that it could do with a few more photos. I would buy it again
