40 Favourite Walks

Alastair and Matthew Ross

The wild and wuthering South Pennines is where Yorkshire and Lancashire collide, a watershed landscape of rugged natural beauty known for its steep-sided valleys, heather moorlands, craggy hills, proud gritstone settlements, shimmering reservoirs and rich history of industrial hard graft. This collection of forty walks explores this unspoilt upland haven, just a stone’s throw from some of northern England’s largest towns and cities, which has inspired writers and artists, as well as walkers, for generations.
