Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook details the Pilgrims' Way, an historic pilgrimage route to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, home of the shrine of the martyred archbishop, St Thomas Becket. The route is described both from Winchester in Hampshire (138 miles) and London's Southwark Cathedral (90¼ miles), with an optional spur to Rochester Cathedral. With relatively easy walking on ancient byways, the route from Winchester is presented in 15 stages of 5-14 miles: it can be comfortably completed in under a fortnight. It follows a major chalk ridge through scenic countryside, taking in characterful towns and villages and historic churches. The route from Southwark is described in 10 stages and includes a visit to the ruined Lesnes Abbey. Detailed route description is accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping, advice on making the most of a trip and information on the historical background to the pilgrimage, key historical figures and local points of interest. Accommodation listings and details of facilities and transport links can be found in the appendices. Pilgrimages to Becket's shrine began within a few years of the his death in 1170, although Canterbury was a popular destination even before this time due to the nearby shrine of St Augustine. The route has featured in literature, drama and film, and forms the setting for Geoffrey Chaucer's famous Middle English work, The Canterbury Tales.

Book excerpt: Walking is one of Britain's favorite pastimes, and the new 15 Great Walks series offers something different - with a view to helping more and more people to get walking. Instead of all short walks or all long walks, these guides are designed with a range of lengths - starting with walk one at 2 miles and finishing at walk fifteen at 15 miles. In addition, the reader is encouraged to do the walks in the order in the book, not just because the walks get longer, but also because the walks have common threads running between routes telling different stories of that particular area. The 15 Great Walks series feature all the information needed to help new walkers get out into the countryside; detailed yet easy-to-read hand-drawn maps showing the routes, clear information with all the important facts, photographs showing key points and route directions which tell the story of the walk - and all written in plain language by walking expert Andrew White, the presenter and producer of the TV series Walks Around Britain. This guidebook takes in fifteen great walks not just in the Yorkshire Dales or the North York Moors National Parks, but also in the wider county of Yorkshire, and takes in walks through the countryside, along old railway lines, beside water, up hills and down valleys - but always with stunning views and interesting stories. Welcome to 15 Great Walks in Yorkshire.
