Short Walks in the North York Moors

by: Brian Spencer
This full colour guidebook contains 20 easy walks of 5 miles or less within the North York Moors National Park. This scenic area contains stunning moorland, spectacular coast, ancient woodland, and historic sites. The guide is one of a series produced in cooperation with the Ramblers and features full colour OS Explorer mapping, making route finding straightforward.

The book begins with a useful introductory chapter describing the region including its geology and wildlife and outlining the walking highlights and practicalities. Each walk chapter gives a short descriptive overview followed by detailed route finding instructions. A side panel provides practical information including distance, time, terrain, and starting grid reference. Additional numbered text boxes cross referenced to the OS map describe features of interest along the way. There are also lots of colour photographs illustrating the walks.
