Bowland's little-frequented heather-clad hills, capped with dark gritstone, contrast perfectly with the gleaming ivory terraces of the North Yorkshire peaks. Attermire Scar, Malham Cove, Kilnsey Crag, Buckden Pike, Aysgarth Falls, Castle Bolton and Reeth are just a few of the many highlights seen on this memorable journey, which culminates at Richmond’s fine old castle. The traverse can be tackled in one go, about 5 days, but is suitable for those who wish to do just a few miles each weekend. Filled with clear sketches, route maps and photos, John Gillham’s excellent pocket-sized book is a handy and practical guide to one of the finest long walks in England.
