The Pennine Way is one of Britain's longest, most popular and most renowned long distance paths. For those disinclined to tackle it in one go or in big chunks or to face the bother of organising transportation back to base, this book presents a series of fifty circular walks along and around the entire route. All of them can be done in a day and all of them finish where they started. The walks included in this guidebook were adopted by the Countryside Agency for its 40th anniversary celebration of the Pennine Way.

After an informative introduction the walks are presented in sections based upon geographical areas. For each walk there is a factual section giving length, ascent, highest point, maps, starting point, facilities and a brief description of the main features. Detailed route instructions follow, interspersed with separate illustrated panels giving information about features or places of interest, and there are sketch maps of the routes. Information on local history, geology and wildlife is included together with numerous colour photographs. This book can provide years of great walking adventures exploring and getting to know the Pennine Way landscape.

The 50 walks are divided into sections with the following headings: Cheviot Hills; North Tynedale; South Tynedale; North Pennines; Teesdale; Central Pennines; Airedale; South Pennines; Dark Peak.
