The Pembrokeshire Coast Path follows a National Trail for 186 miles (299km) around the magnificent coastline of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in south-west Wales. Renowned for its unspoilt sandy beaches, secluded coves, tiny fishing villages and off-shore islands rich in bird and marine life, this National Trail provides some of the best coastal walking in Britain. This practical, comprehensive guide to walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path provides 96 trail maps and 15 town plans, including planning, places to stay, places to eat, what to see.
96 large-scale trail maps and 15 town plans, 14 stage maps and 2 overview maps. Detailed accommodation with reviews: B&Bs, campsites, pubs, hotels, bunkhouses. Where to eat with reviews: cafes, teashops, takeaways, pubs and restaurants. Detailed public transport information with frequency of services. Unique mapping features - In many walking guides the reader has to read a route description then try to relate it to the map. Our guides are easier to use because walking directions, tricky junctions, places to stay and eat, points of interest and walking times are all written onto the maps themselves in the places to which they apply. With their uncluttered clarity, these are not general-purpose maps but fully- edited maps drawn by walkers for walkers.

Reisehåndbøkene gir råd til hvordan man best kan nyte en eventyrlig reise borte fra turisthordene samtidig som man gjør det mulig for lokale samfunn og natur å dra nytte av besøket.

Bradt's popular guidebook 52 Wildlife Weekends suggests inspiring itineraries for 52 unforgettable British wildlife-watching breaks, stretching from the Isles of Scilly to northern Scotland - each perfectly timed for every week of the year. Thoroughly updated to reflect Britain's ever-changing natural history, this second edition integrates the latest information on the country's most thrilling wildlife experiences, suggests new target species and showcases fabulous new locations. Written by award-winning author and experienced naturalist James Lowen, 52 Wildlife Weekends remains the only guide to package Britain's nature-watching highlights into deftly timed, user-friendly holiday suggestions.

Say it's February and you want to watching otters. Or May: time for spring flowers and bewitching butterflies. Or July, and you fancy marvelling at dragonflies.

Or October: the height of bird migration. Whenever in the year you get a chance to escape, this book suggests 48 hours' worth of brilliant wildlife-watching - perfect for staycations, whether as a weekend or part of a longer holiday. 52 Wildlife Weekends suggests a year's worth of short breaks celebrating the full range of Britain's most exciting wildlife, from tiny silver-spotted skipper butterflies to gargantuan basking sharks, and from seabird skyscrapers to ostentatious orchids.

Covering more than 40 counties or regions, this unique guide offers engaging descriptions, detailed directions (including grid references and postcodes), accommodation suggestions, and assessments of accessibility and (new for this edition) child-friendliness, plus 180 mouth-watering colour photographs. Find out how, where and when to track down such thrilling creatures as beavers and basking sharks, eagles and otters, dolphins and dragonflies, glow worms and grey seals. Why not open the New Year on a real-life wild goose chase in the Inner Hebrides? Or make a spring pilgrimage to Yorkshire to see truly wild daffodils? Or experience underwater life by peering into rivers for rare fish in Powys, snorkelling in Dorset, or rock-pooling in Devon? Or gawp at starling murmurations, shape-shifting through the autumnal sky, in Suffolk or Somerset.

Combining the very best of travel and wildlife guides, and covering both well-known spectacles and less familiar species, Bradt's 52 Wildlife Weekends has something for everyone - wildlife experts and novice ecotourists alike.

The go-to Jersey travel guide for the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Jersey on foot with the Sunflower Jersey travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Jersey guide is indispensable for hiking in Jersey or seeing Jersey by car. Walking in Jersey can be quite challenging: the coastline features some steep paths with endless steps.

But away from the coast there is slightly more variety in the landscape, and trekking is relaxed and easy, mainly along quiet lanes and country paths. The author, Geoff Daniel has the happy knack of finding sights and places to stir the imagination – from the Pinnacle (one-time scene of pagan rituals) to the eerie towering concrete relics dating from the German Occupation during World War II. Whether you’re a first-timer seeing Jersey by car or a regular visitor, you’ll enjoy exploring places you might never see without this guide.

Dubbed 'the mountain connoisseurs' walk', the Cambrian Way stretches 479km between the mighty castles of Cardiff in the south and Conwy on the north coast. Traversing the heartland of Wales, the challenging route crosses the Brecon Beacons, the Cambrian Mountains and Snowdonia, passing through two national parks and visiting many of the country's iconic summits, including Pen y Fan, Pumlumon, Cadair Idris and Snowdon itself. It can be walked in three weeks (or in shorter sections) and is suitable for experienced hillwalkers with sound navigational skills.

The guide presents the route in 21 stages, offering comprehensive route description illustrated with OS 1:50,000 mapping and elevation profiles. Details of accommodation and facilities are provided, along with a helpful trek planner showing their distribution along the route: although the trail passes through remote areas, it is possible to stay under a roof every night - though camping is also a possibility, should you prefer. There are background notes on Wales's history and geology and local points of interest, and a glossary of Welsh place-names, useful contacts and accommodation listings can be found in the appendices.

Guidebook to 40 circular walks in pembrokeshire in wales. Routes take in the dramatic beauty of the national park and its coast, the daugleddau and the preseli hills, while exploring wooded gorges, prehistoric hillforts and medieval castles. Walks range from 1 to 12 miles and route descriptions are accompanied by 1:50,000 os map extracts.

Seasons: Every part of the year has much to offer, but highlights include: The spring flowers of coast and woodlands and the countless seabirds that arrive to breed on cliffs and offshore islands. Balmy summer days on the beaches can be idyllic. As autumn approaches, there are wonderful woodland colours and countless seals arriving to pup around the coast. Winters are generally mild allowing some species flower throughout the year, but snow occasionally lies on the high ground and coastal storms can be ferocious.

Centres: tenby, pembroke, narberth, haverfordwest, st david's, fishguard, cardigan

Difficulty: the walks are generally moderate between 2 and 12 miles (20km). There are some steep climbs and descents, and exposed cliff-tops demand sensible care, but nothing is overly demanding. In fair weather, common sense and basic navigation skills are sufficient to get you around.

Must see: Pembrokeshire's stunning coast, with spectacular cliffs and superb beaches. Unspoilt inland gems including the expansive preseli hills, the unfrequented upper daugleddau, superb woodlands as well as fine churches, castles, industrial heritage sites and prehistoric relics.

This guidebook describes 87 of the best walks and scrambles on the Isle of Skye. Not only limited to the popular routes on the Black Cuillin or Skye's 12 Munros, the guide offers a comprehensive selection of routes in all areas of the island; in Sleat and South-East Skye, Strath, Minginish, Duirinish, Waternish and Trotternish. The routes range in length from 2 to 23km, so while there are opportunities for novice walkers, routes can also be combined for longer trails and difficult scrambles.

Skye can delight walkers and scramblers at every turn, from sea stacks to fell tops; corries to rugged cliffs and plenty in between. Walkers on Skye should be prepared for strenuous trails and wilderness, as well as changeable weather, navigation, and - depending on the route - scrambling skills. Alongside detailed descriptions and OS maps for every route, the guidebook also includes practical information essential to making the most out of a visit to Skye.

This new, thoroughly updated third edition of Yorkshire Dales (Slow Travel), part of Bradt's series of distinctive 'Slow' travel guides to local UK regions, remains the most comprehensive guide to the area and covers the whole of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty plus nearby 'slow' and historic towns and villages. The Yorkshire Dales could have been invented for modern travel. The region's cinematic caves, valleys, waterfalls and limestone geology are famous round the world.

Within a short walk are filmset-perfect traditional pubs and cafes where you are as likely to chat to shepherds as celebrities. The Dales have never been places to hurry. In the new travel world where 'slow', 'sustainable' and 'local' are many people's watchwords, this remarkable English region offers much to savour at leisure - like one of its renowned artisan cheeses or beers.

Written and updated by two Yorkshire residents and outdoors enthusiasts, Bradt's Yorkshire Dales complements well-known honeypots (Aysgarth Falls, Malham, Grassington) with off-piste gems that you'll have to yourself, whether wild swimming spots, hidden caves, Dark Skies sites or traditional stone villages. With hundreds of square kilometres of open-access land to explore, the Dales are one of the UK's premier hillwalking destinations, hosting much-loved routes such as the Pennine Way, Three Peaks, Dales Way and the recently upgraded Coast to Coast. The Dales have also become known as one of England's finest places for cycling, whether for family trips, e-bikers or hardcore road racers, prompting hopes that the Tour de Yorkshire will return.

Drop in to the Tan Hill Inn, Britain's highest pub, where sheep regularly warm themselves by the roaring fire; journey into the depths of Gaping Gill, one of Britain's largest underground chambers; visit book-loving Sedbergh, where even the bus stops have bookshelves; or take a scenic rail trip on the famous Settle-Carlisle line, crossing the country's longest railway viaduct. History buffs will love medieval castles including Skipton and Richmond, while wildlife-watchers will enjoy the birds of sparkling rivers and limestone-pavement flora. Bradt's Yorkshire Dales (Slow Travel) is the perfect companion for a successful trip.

This brand new title in Bradt's acclaimed UK regional Slow series is the only full guide to Cheshire, a county known for its abundance of black-and-white timbered buildings and which was put firmly on the map in the 1990s thanks to then-resident stars Posh and Becks. Cheshire is a county that confounds expectations, from the Cheshire Plain to the hills and moors of the Pennines and Peak District in the east and surprisingly dramatic sandstone ridges in the west, not to mention the Wirral Peninsula, flanked by the major estuaries of the rivers Mersey and Dee flowing into the Irish Sea. Home to premier league footballers it may be, but it is also a largely rural landscape and an area of farm shops, forests and falconries; meres, marinas and marshes.

There is industrial and scientific heritage, too, ranging from Bronze-Age mining sites to the internationally important astronomical observatory and mighty Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. With this new Bradt guide, discover all of this and more: the county town of Chester with its fascinating Roman history, unique double-decker medieval shopping arcades and the most complete city walls in Britain; ruins of ancient castles; and reminders of the salt and silk industries that have been so important in the past. For a truly slow experience, Cheshire also offers a network of canals, perfect for waterside strolls or pootling along in a narrowboat, while Bradt's Slow Cheshire details information for walkers and cyclists, too.

Part of Bradt's distinctive, award-winning series of 'Slow' travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated third edition of East Devon and The Jurassic Coast (Slow Travel) remains the most comprehensive - and only standalone - guide available to this area. Written with insider knowledge that can only be gained by living in the area, and combined with colourful, enthusiastic and witty writing, plus contributions from local experts, this guidebook is as much a pleasure to read as an invaluable companion for exploring east Devon and west Dorset. Devon is the fourth most popular county for UK holidaymakers - and for good reason.

Over a hundred square miles of East Devon are designated a 'National Landscape' (formerly 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty') and the internationally famous Jurassic Coast stretching into Dorset is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The charming coastal town of Seaton benefits from sensitive development, including the extension (to wildlife-packed Seaton Wetlands) of the Stop Line Way, a long-distance cycling and walking route to Bristol, originally designed to bolster World War II defences. Dorset's Lyme Regis, meanwhile, is Britain's fossil-hunting capital - as featured in the 2020 film Ammonite, starring Kate Winslet.
