Thirty-two walks to explore the Mournes, taking in rugged coast, high mountains, forest parks and low-level farmlands. They lead you along the mighty Mourne Wall as it pursues a rollercoaster route over the mountains. They also lead you to quiet corners where the history, heritage, wildlife and stillness of the area can be enjoyed. They look formidable, yet the Mournes are a very compact range of mountains. A tough walker could traverse them in a day, while an enquiring walker could spend years trying to get to know them throughout the changing seasons. This guidebook offers a selection of walking routes, from the coast to the highest peaks, allowing you to explore and appreciate this special place. The routes lie within the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which embraces not only the Mountains of Mourne, but also Slieve Croob and the north-east coastline.

This guidebook presents 50 half-day and day walks in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana, the striking limestone range that stretches along the northwestern flank of the island. Whilst the region promises breathtaking scenery and some fantastic walks, there is also some potentially challenging terrain, making guidance when choosing, planning and walking routes all the more valuable. As many involve steep ground, navigational challenge and hands-on scrambling, they are primarily geared towards those with some experience of mountain walking. Comprehensive route description is illustrated with 1:25,000 Alpina mapping and each walk includes a statistics box to aid route selection. Useful contacts are listed in the appendix. There is also background information on history, plants and wildlife, plus language notes in native Catalan and Castilian Spanish. The routes are spread across the Serra de Tramuntana, with characterful towns and villages such as Soller, Deia, Fornalutx, Valldemossa and Pollenca serving as potential bases for a walking holiday. Ranging from 5.5km to 24km, the carefully selected routes showcase the region's rugged limestone peaks, mountain and coastal vistas and rich mountain heritage manifested in numerous drystone constructions, charcoal-burning sites and irrigation systems. Highlights include the lush island of sa Dragonera and the dramatic gorge of Torrent de Pareis. The majority of walks are accessible by public transport and many can be linked, opening up further possibilities for exploration.

This second edition of this popular guidebook to County Durham, in the north east of England, describes 450 miles of walking routes and cycleways. County Durham - the Land of the Prince-Bishops - lies between two mighty rivers - the Tyne to the north and the Tees to the south, stretching from the high Pennines in the west to the cliffs of the east coast. The routes explore all corners of this varied and historic landscape - wild moorlands, gentle countryside, riverside walks, nature reserves, heritage sites, railway paths and the low cliff coast, passing Roman forts, ancient churches and castles. And, on the high Pennines, vast tracts of wild moorland are now 'open access'. The guide is illustrated with OS mapping and colour photographs and packed with local information on the wildlife, geology, history and industrial heritage of the county.
