This new title is one of the first two in an updated series of Paul Hannon's `Short Scenic Walks' guidebooks. The principle feature is that all walks are less than five miles in length, offering a perfect half day's stroll for families, casual walkers and all who want to enjoy a leisurely exploration of Britain's outstanding country landscapes. A range of enhancements include a wider geographical spread, in this case merging - with full revision, two popular titles which are now out of print.

The walks start from such places as Harrogate, Knaresborough, Pateley Bridge and Ripon, and include such iconic landmarks as How Stean Gorge, Brimham Rocks, Studley Royal, Almscliff Crag, the Nidd Gorge and the Washburn Valley.

In addition to being more visually appealing than their predecessors, with a more modern house style, this new series offers 30 walks rather than 20, and these more substantial books feature a full spine rather than wire-stitched binding. Over 30 colour photographs depict features and landscapes along the routes.
