Walking is one of Britain s favourite 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 Snowdonia National Park, but also in North Wales as a whole including the island of Anglesey, 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 North Wales'. AUTHOR: Having been bitten by the bug whilst at university, Andrew White is today one of the country s leading writers and broadcasters about walking but don t ask him what it s like on the top of Ben Nevis or Scafell Pike. He has been to the top of Snowdon but on the train. Andrew s passion is actually for shorter walks ones which are designed to get the most people outside and discovering the Great British Countryside.
