'A wonderful book full of essential information for walkers' 'An excellent handbook full of useful information' 'Am so glad I found this book as it is very well laid out and everything you need to know for each suggested walk is given on the pages for that route - invaluable' 'Brilliant book with great directions and recommended start and finish points' 'An exceptionally well-written book - clear and concise. Made a wonderful birthday present for a walker' 'very informative book and a great guide' 'Ideal book for planning a walking holiday in Wales. Especially liked detailed info on public transport' 'A must have for anybody intending to complete the whole coast line' 'There are parts of the path where this book has got me out of jail a few times and for that reason alone I recommend it ... the author has done a superb job of capturing the essential elements. The pace of around 12-15 miles a day is also about right for most people but only you know your limits ... I like the book, the written style, route plans and structure and it has certainly served us well.' Katharine Evans is a professional Rights of Way Surveyor.
