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 featuring the entire North York Moors National Park.

The walks include such iconic landmarks as Robin Hood's Bay, Rievaulx Abbey, Goathland, Farndale, Roseberry Topping and the White Horse of Kilburn.

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.

Published at the same time is `Short Scenic Walks - Harrogate & Nidderdale', a merging of two popular titles which are now out of print. All these walks have been fully revised.
