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. This title covers one of the principal valleys at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and merges the best of the previous titles 'Upper Wensleydale' and 'Lower Wensleydale' into one volume.

The lower section of Wensleydale runs downstream to Masham, and includes a section of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With starting points such as; Hawes, Bainbridge, Aysgarth, Middleham and Leyburn, the book's many highlights include Semerwater, Castle Bolton, Penhill, Jervaulx Abbey and Hardraw Force.

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.
