Heritage Hikes: North-West volume 1 is the fourth in the series, which will eventually cover the whole of England (South-west vol 1 centred in Wiltshire and Yorkshire vol 1 in north Yorkshire already published). Each volume covers a specific geographical area where attractive countryside and English Heritage sites combine to offer good walks and fascinating days out. Each circular walk features one or more EH properties which can be visited en route, some priced and some free. The walks are thoroughly researched and full directions are given, using permanent landmarks and with details of how to get there, where to park and refreshment facilities. This first north-east volume covers Northumbria and Durham, with walks centred on haunting Dunstanburgh Castle, Lindisfarne Priory, the cradle of Christianity, and parts of Hadrian"s Wall among others.
