This classic long-distance 190 mile route from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire coast, devised by Wainwright in 1972, traverses what he described as 'the grandest territory in the North of England. Two thirds of the walk lie within three National Parks and today Wainwright's achievement is regarded by many as the finest long trek in Britain.

Wainwright's Highlands & Islands of Scotland

"Shows the best the North West Highlands of Scotland (still) offer ... captures the vast open spaces, the silence, the emptiness and the sheer beauty of the scenery of places like Torridon and Sutherland - indeed landscapes so beautiful that it hurts." "Makes a real nice gift for the elderly, who are now 'grounded' but who, in their more energetic years, loved to roam the braes and glens and know what Wainwright means when he says (about Sutherland) "when away from it, it calls."
