End to End Trail. 2006. This guide describes a 2000km (1200 mile) route from Land’s End to John O’Groats, guiding you through the very best of the British countryside. The route follows paths and tracks rather than roads, and takes to the hills and wilder country whenever it can.
Along the way the route uses parts of the South West Coast Path, the Offa’s Dyke Path, the Pennine Way and the West Highland Way, all established long-distance walking trails. The other 60% of the route is fully covered by detailed route descriptions and maps, and many practical variations on the route are outlined as well.

The Alternative Coast-to-Coast - Walney Island to Holy Island. By Denis Brook & Phil Hinchliffe. Cicerone Press. 1996. 'The ACC begins on one island and finishes on another. It starts on the west coast at the Beachcomber Cafe on Walney Island near Barrow-In-Furness. After crossing the Irish Sea (tides permitting), the walk skirts the edge of Barrow and on into the Lake District. Several Lakeland peaks are climbed, several delightful Lakeland villages are visited and the full length of Ullswater is walked. Between Penrith and Hexham, the route crosses the Northern Pennines. Hadrian's Wall is then negotiated before crossing Northumberland with its Chevlot Hills and wilderness areas. The ACC finishes in a grand style by crossing the North Sea (again tides permitting) and finally arrives at ancient Holy Island, or Lindisfarne as it was once known on the east coast. From Barrow, it is about 309 km to the majestic ruins of Lindisfrne Priory, founded in the 7th century. The walk seeks out places of interest where an extra day can be spent on local exploration instead of forging ahead. It does not always seek the high hills, but crosses moors, follows rivers and dales and goes through forests. It visits places of literary and historical interest.' (From the cover). 272 pages.

The Dales Way. By Terry Marsh. New fully updated edition, in full colour, with OS mapping. The only guide available which includes the route description in both directions. To be published with new Cicerone guides The Ribble Way, The Cotswold Way and The Teesdale Way.
This is a fully-updated new edition of this multi-day walk through the Yorkshire Dales and the eastern fringe of the Lake District between Ilkley and Bowness on Windermere, a total of 78 miles. This is the only guide available which describes the route in both directions. The Dales Way is one of the gentlest multi-day walks in Britain, suitable for all ages and an excellent introduction to long-distance walking.
The route makes the most of delectable Wharfedale, travelling virtually to the source of the great river before crossing into the equally delightful Dentdale. This too is followed as it fashions a lovely course through the village of Dent and on to Sedbergh, where it joins the Rawthey. From here, the Way strikes westward into the fringe of Lakeland.
The great attraction of the Dales Way is that it is rarely far from features of architectural, social, ecological or historic interest with churches, ancient bridges, manor houses, shooting lodges, Roman roads, stone circles, packhorse routes, viaducts and nature trails - the Dales Way has them all.

A Coast to Coast Walk. By Terry Marsh. A walk across the width of Northern England from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on Yorkshire's east coast is a most popular endeavour. This is an updated new edition in full-colour. The author, working with local officers and conservation officials, has improved on the other routes by keeping strictly to rights-of-way and permitted paths and avoiding the easily eroded soft peat areas. The amount of road walking, too, has been drastically reduced, making this new route an altogether more satisfactory walk.
The guide is divided into three sections. The first gives the route description, from west to east, annotated as appropriate with notes of geological, historical, industrial, sociological and natural history interest. The second section gives the route description only in an east to west direction, cross- referenced to the west- east description for explanations of points of interest or comment. The final section contains a wealth of information of potential usefulness to the Coast to Coast walker.

The South West Coast Path. Paddy Dillon. 2003. The tradition of walking the south-west coast path in an anti-clockwise direction springs from there being more miles in total with the wind and weather behind you than against you. To assist forward planning of both day walks and continuous long-distance hikes, the coast path has been divided into sections, beginning and ending where there are amenities for refreshment or accommodation (or access inland to them).
Each section begins with a summary of its length, the kind of terrain and gradients to be expected, along with details of amenities and access points. An attempt has been made to grade the walking for difficulty, although such an exercise will always be subjective. Whether your coastal journey is a modest jaunt or a long-distance trek, you will surely gain new perspectives, a sharpening of the senses and a fuller appreciation of the interplay between nature and the hand of man.
