Full Description
A guidebook to 40 day walks in and around the valley of the River Lune, which wends its way between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Parks. From riverside paths to fell-tops and fields, there are walks for all abilities.
The walks range in length from 5-18km (3-11 miles) and can be enjoyed in between 1 and 6 hours. They are arranged geographically, following the Lune as it flows from near Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria, around the Howgill Fells and downstream towards its mouth on Morecambe Bay, Lancashire.
1:50,000 OS maps included for each walk
Sized to easily fit in a jacket pocket
GPX files available to download
Refreshment and public transport options are given for each walk
