Excellent country, excellent book
The pathfinder series of walking books I find are some of the best published. The maps in them are copies of ordnance survey maps and therefore easily to follow ( not like some walk books ). There is always a good variety of walks of varying length and ability. This book has the spectacular walk from Houseteads fort to Vindolanda along Hadrian's Wall... brilliant.

Excellent walks for all ages and mobilities
Having wanted a book of walks in Northumberland I delved into this series having heard about it through word of mouth. I have to say that I haven't been disappointed.

The walks are split up into three categories - easy, medium and more strenuous - and are located on a map of the north east within the first couple of pages to give an idea of travel time and ways to get there.

The individual chapters on each walk start with a fact box that includes things such as GPS coordinates, overall distance walked, time taken to walk and parking places. Each walk also contains a highlighted route on a colour OS map along with some very detailed descriptive about each stage that the walk is broken up into.

This really is an excellent guide and for less than £10 it's a bargain. Thoroughly recommended.

good walks
Knew this book from the library so knew it was full of varied and interesting walks an information to boot, pardon the pun.
