The routes are listed in alphabetical order. The listing for each one shows the area the walk is in, its length in both kilometres and miles, locations of the start and finish (with grid references), the OS maps required and the available publications. There is also a brief description of each route, which is usually enough to give you an idea if the route is the sort of thing you are looking for.

At the back of the book is another list of the routes, this time in decreasing order of distance and a map of the UK showing the location of each route. There’s also a comprehensive list of addresses to obtain the various route publications from.

Although it’s a reference book rather than bedtime reading, with this on your shelf you’ll never be stuck for inspiration again.
