Walks in Limestone Country

Alfred Wainwright, author of the inimitable best-selling ‘Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells’, here describes thirty-four selected walks in the interesting limestone area around the Three Peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. Each has its particular charm or special objective. Each is the subject of a separate chapter containing a diagram, a map, and an illustrated narrative. Also included is a detailed description of the route of the marathon Three Peaks Walk.

For this edition, every footpath was re-walked, and every map and diagram checked by Chris Jesty, who assisted with the maps on two of Wainwright’s large-format books.
