This brand-new title is one of three concurrent additions to the updated series of Paul Hannon’s ‘Short Scenic Walks’ guidebooks.

The principal 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. This title is based in and around the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lancashire, and 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 Slaidburn, Chipping, Dunsop Bridge and Downham, and include such iconic features as Pendle Hill, Waddington, Longridge Fell and the River Ribble.

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.
