Harris - Walks in the Western Isles Guidebook

author: Peter Edwards
The Isle of Harris is home to some wonderful walking country, from the rugged ridges and glens of the Harris Hills to the astonishingly beautiful white sand beaches of the island's west coast, while the remarkably complex eastern coastline is punctuated with sea lochs, headlands, coves, and bays. These environments are also full of historical interest and spectacular wildlife.

The 25 walking routes in this guidebook explore the island's range of landscapes, including strolls along the west coast beaches, half day walks on rocky coastal paths, day long mountain ridge traverses, and wild country backpacking routes. Each walk begins with the practical information required to get to the start and complete the walk, including distance, total ascent, ferry and bus information and any special difficulties. Detailed route-finding instructions are provided together with an overview sketch map. Carrying the relevant OS 1:25,000 scale paper or digital map is recommended. The book includes some stunning colour photographs. The informative introduction sets the scene for exploring the island, providing an insight into the landscape and history essential to get the most out of the walks.
