Northumberland is an extensive county with wide horizons where space and solitude are in abundance and time is measured by the seasonal cycle. Choose from wild walking, craggy ascents, forest treks and gentle riverside strolls; through hills and braes that have few equals; and if that is not enough, there are endless empty miles of sandy bays, rippling dunes and rocky points each bearing pages of Northumbrian history. Here was the cradle of northern Christianity and site of silhouetted coastal castles where Northumbrian Kings were crowned. Mountains, moorland and sandy coast provide some of the finest walking in England, and without doubt the most secluded.

History comes alive when walking around these ancient battlefield sites - especially when combined with the attractive countryside of Northumbria and the Scottish Borders. Historian, experienced walker and author Brian Conduit, has produced a collection of 22 walks describing military engagements covering the most important battlefield sites in this wild region and beautiful part of Britain. Many have features of interest nearby, for example ruined castles, old churches, abbeys and Roman sites, to add to the interest and enjoyment of the visit.

The walks feature military events spanning almost 2000 years of history: the building of Hadrian's Wall, the grandest military monument in the whole of Britain; the Viking raid on Lindisfarne in 793, the first recorded on these shores; sieges of the two greatest border strongholds, Carlisle and Berwick-upon-Tweed; the fates of abbeys on both sides of the border when caught up in the incessant warfare; and in more recent times, a surprise attack by the German navy on the east coast of England at the start of World War 1.

Each of the walks has full route finding details, a sketch map and practical information as well as a descriptive background to the military event that the walk is based upon. The walks are: Hadrians Wall - Housesteads Fort; Lindisfarne; Lanercost Priory; Berwick; Halidon Hill, near Berwick; Neville's Cross, Durham; Otterburn; Homildon Hill, Wooler; Hedgeley Moor, near Wooler; Hexham; Flodden, Branxton; Solway Moss, Longtown; Kelso Abbey and Roxburgh Castle; Ancrum Moor, near St Boswells; Pinkie, Musselburgh; Newburn Ford; Philiphaugh, Selkirk; Dunbar, Broxburn; Prestonpans; Carlisle; Clifton Moor; Hartlepool.

Northumberland offers the rambler both stretches of a spectacular shoreline and peaceful inland strolls besides rivers and lakes. The twenty circular routes in this book are between 4 and 9.5 miles in length. They take the walker beside these waterways through some of the most memorable scenery in England. Each is carefully described and includes information such as how to get to the start, where to park and where to go for refreshments. There are black and white photographs throughout illustrating some of the highlights to be seen along the way. All the walks are based on at least one pub. For greater clarity the route descriptions are divided into numbered paragraphs which correspond with numbers on the accompanying sketch maps.

You can stroll by delightful stretches of the Derwent, East Allen, South Tyne, North Tyne, Wansbeck, Rede, Coquet, Aln, Alwin, Till and Tweed rivers. There are many lakes to enjoy including Crag Lough, Greenlee Lough, Bolam Lake and impressive Kielder Water; and also superb stretches of coastline at Seaton Sluice and Almouth.

The Northumbrian coastline, from the mouth of the Tyne to Berwick upon Tweed, has its share of craggy cliffs and long, sandy beaches. Yet once one moves beyond the Tyneside conurbation in the south, it has the feel of a neglected beauty. Much of the coastal scenery derives from the region's industrial legacy, as everywhere can be seen the quarries from which the coal and limestone were extracted. In most places, these have been reclaimed by nature, and are now thriving wildlife reserves. The walks selected cover the full spectrum of what the coast has to offer.

All of the walks in this guide are circular and begin at a car park or safe parking location with the grid reference provided. Public transport options are given where available. The walks, between 2 and 5 miles long, are graded from easy to challenging. Distance and a short description of the terrain are also provided. Clear route directions are provided together with simple sketch maps. One of the features that make the 'Boot Up' series of guides so attractive is the emphasis on good landscape photography and the book is well illustrated throughout with colour photographs. The handy size also means it will slip easily into your pocket, protected by the tough cover.

The walk locations are: North Shields and Tynemouth; Whitley Bay; Seaton Sluice; Druridge Bay south; Druridge Bay north and country park; Warkworth; Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle; Bamburgh; Lindisfarne; Cocklawburn Beach.

In the Borders, a legendary land that lies between England and Scotland, the landscape is dominated by ridge after ridge fading into gently folding valleys through which the Tweed and Teviot rivers flow. The area has been the scene of thousands of years of sometimes turbulent history, but thankfully today peace reigns. The routes in this guide open up this unique landscape to the hillwalker, and provide a real taste of its beauty and solitude.

This third edition of the guide contains 46 routes as well as outlines of a number of long distance paths that cross the region. New walks in this edition include an ascent of the charismatic coned summit of Rubers Law and a challenging route through lonely Craik Forest. All the routes are illustrated with OS Landranger mapping.

After an excellent introduction to the region the guide describes the walks under four main chapters covering different areas. These are: The Cheviot Hills - 16 walks; Tweeddale and Teviotdale - 11 waks; Ettrick Forest - 9 walks; The Tweedsmuir Hills - 10 walks. Each of the walks has detailed route directions plus background and practical information clearly laid out. This includes distance, height gain, walking time, OS map references, parking details and a difficulty grading. There are numerous colour photographs illustrating the landscape and places visited.

Escape from the crowds to these lonely hills, where you may wander all day without meeting another soul. The 47 classic circular walks in this book provide an excellent introduction to this lonely, wild countryside - a true wilderness area. Everyone is catered for, from weekend family groups to the experienced hill walker. Each route is full of interest, with details of the natural history, geology and archaeology of the area.

In the northern area of the Cheviots, five main valleys cut deep into the heart of the range - the Breamish, College and Harthorpe on the English side of the border, and Bowmont and Heatherhope on the Scottish side. These provide quick and easy access to the wild upland regions. The southern area is explored with walks radiating from the Coquet Valley and homesteads set among the foothills. These introduce you to a gentler terrain. Many of the walks follow old drove roads, smuggling routes and Roman roads which cross the hills and have been used for centuries. On each walk an exciting and varied day is assured, whatever your ability.

Edward Baker has lived within the border region all his life. He is an experienced walker and has travelled the length and breadth of the Cheviots planning and recording these walks. All the walks have been checked and personally trod to ensure the accuracy of the routes.

The Cheviot Hills stand on the northern edge of England at the heart of the Northumberland National Park. They roll over the border into Scotland like a tide of small green waves. These are wild and expansive hills where the echo of history can be heard from every windswept hill and in every tranquil valley. This is ideal walking country. On each of the eight self-guided walks the reader will uncover a small piece of the Cheviot jigsaw. They will follow less than ordinary routes to summit cairns and distant views. Along the way they will encounter cleughs, burns, sikes, crags, shins, dodds, hopes, linns, shanks and a whole lot more. This is an appetite whetting selection of walks in the Cheviot Hills.

The guide does not include any sketch maps, but the route finding directions are detailed and include grid references for key points along the way. You will therefore need Ordnance Survey explorer map OL16 to confirm your position. We would not advise walking in the exposed Cheviots without an OS Explorer map and compass even using a guide that included sketch maps. A detailed grading system (Ferguson Grading System or FGS) is used to give you an understanding of the difficulty of the route from the point of view of navigation, physical exertion and safety.

The 8 circular walk titles are: Harthorpe Circuit; Hills of Wooler; Whitelands of Biddlestone; Alnhammoor round; Winding road to Windy Gyle; High circuit of the Usway Burn; Hethpool border circuit; High level along the border line. Distances are generally about 10 miles or a little more.

A huge amount of rain has trickled down the burns of the Cheviot Hills since W. Ford Robertson's book 'Walks from Wooler' was first published in 1926 and, at first sight, the hills seem pretty much the same as they did all those years ago. Yet there has been change; that much is inevitable.

This book, by the author of the popular book of walks 'The Cheviot Hills', sets out to discover how that change has affected route descriptions now more than 80 years old and to find out whether those routes are still relevant today. On eight totally new walks this book peeps into a walking past whilst keeping both feet firmly planted in high-tech walking present. Along the way it uncovers a world of tackety boots and stout sticks.

Each of the walks has clearly written route finding directions and practical information includes distance, ascent, terrain, walking time and grid references for identifiable locations along the route. Each walk has also been assigned a Ferguson Grading System rating. There are no maps, but it is essential when walking in the Cheviot Hills to carry an OS Explorer map and compass.

The walk locations are: Cold Law from Carey Burn Bridge in Harthope Valley; A walk to the Pole from Hawsen Burn in Harthope Valley; Tom Tallon's Crag from Wooler; the Hart Heugh Gliders from Wooler; high above the College Burn from Hethpool in the College Valley; the eastern fringe from Langlee in the Harthope Valley; Hedgehope Hill from Hawsen Burn in Harthope Valley; Lambden Valley Hills from Hawsen Burn in Harthope Valley.

The River Coquet rises on the remote upper slopes of Brownhart Law, close to the Roman military complex of Chew Green, and for the first 10 miles of a long and wayward journey to the North Sea this magnificent river rubs shoulders with some of the finest hills in Northumberland. Here, seemingly light years from the stresses and strains of 21st century life, the hills of Upper Coquetdale offer walking of the highest quality.

This guide contains eight totally new self-guided walks with detailed easy to follow route descriptions and a rucksack full of fascinating information about the area. This is a unique collection of walks in the most tranquil corner of England. Each walk chapter begins with a short description of the route plus practical data including distance, ascent, terrain, time and grid references. Each walk has also been assigned a Ferguson Grading System rating and the book gives details of this system and how to interpret the grades. There are no sketch maps and we would recommend carrying the OS Explorer map OL16 and a compass. (you can add this map to your order with a 15% discount on the normal price).

The rich and colourful history of Northumbria is brought to life by the authors with accounts of the Prince Bishops, the Border Reivers and such noted families as the Percys and the Nevilles, all set against a background of castles and pele towers. The authors are retired university lecturers and, in his introduction, the rock star Sting says "Peter Donaghy and John Laidler have done well to encourage us to walk here. So, enjoy this book and 'gan canny'."

The North Pennines have often been described as 'England's Last Wilderness' and are among the wildest, bleakest and most remote moorlands in the country. Shared by the counties of Cumbria, Durham and Northumberland, they make up the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England. As well as being famous for its range of arctic and alpine remnant flora, the region's mineral wealth has given it a rich industrial heritage for walkers to explore. This new guidebook offers readers gentle riverside strolls, passing waterfalls and flower-filled meadows, and longer rugged moorland walks, and includes vast areas now designated as access land. Comprehensively covering the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the guide provides exhilarating walking in this area between the Yorkshire Dales and Hadrian's Wall.

An informative introduction describes the geology, landscape, flowers, wildlife and mining heritage of the region. Practical information needed to plan a walking holiday in the area includes local transport services, accommodation and TIC's in the area. There are 50 circular walks described, from 8km to 23km in length, suitable for all abilities over a variety of terrain. All of the walks have detailed route finding instructions and are illustrated with full colour OS 1:50,000 mapping and photographs.

The walks are grouped into thirteen sections as follows: Geltsdale; The East Fellside; Warcop Range; Stainmore; Lower Teesdale; Middle Teesdale; Upper Teesdale; Weardale; Derwentside; Devil's Water; Allendale; South Tynedale; The Dale-Heads.

Set in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the walks in this guide cover the South Tyne, West Allen and East Allen valleys. The parallel valleys of South Tynedale and Allendale are very similar in character and form a logical group for the purposes of this book. Both run from south to north, until the South Tyne turns abruptly eastward, to be joined by the Allen at Bardon Mill. Within this book's area the deep valleys run between high and lonely moorlands, frequented only by occasional walkers and grouse shooting parties. The small, market town of Alston sits at the heart of south Tynedale and makes the perfect focal point for this collection of walks.

Many outdoor enthusiasts would agree that the most fitting end to an enjoyable walk is an equally enjoyable pub. The author has selected 53 pubs and inns in the Scottish Borders, which provide a hearty welcome, good food and cheerful surroundings.

A simple area map pinpoints the location, and there is a full description of each pub and its facilities, including opening hours, draught and bottled beers, wines, meals available, family amenities and general atmosphere, items of local interest and walks, with photographs and illustrations, and a glossary of Border terms. Linked to the pubs are brief route descriptions for 80 walks, over rolling hills or fells or along dramatic coastlines, rivers and lakes on the Northumbrian Cheviots, along the Tweed valley and the Lammermuir Hills.

The eight walks in this book cover the portion of the Forest around the Kielder Castle Visitor Centre but in these walks you will find isolated valleys, secluded forest tracks, rough moorland and high hills plus a history that goes back for thousands of years. The common factor is that all of this landscape is stunning and a joy for the walker to discover.

Each walk chapter begins with a short description of the route plus practical data including distance, ascent, terrain, time and grid references. The route finding instructions include diagrams with grid references which help direction finding, particularly at path junctions.
