Brian ConduitClick HERE to download the Table of Contents. This will indicate the broad variety of walk locations in and around the city.
Both its location and its architecture make Newcastle-upon-Tyne one of the most visually exciting cities in Britain. It is one of the few to possess a medieval castle, while handsome and dignified classical buildings grace its centre, as well as some stunning examples of modern architecture.
But the city also has the advantage of lying at the heart of some of the most attractive and varied countryside in England. There is a superb coastline, pleasant river valleys, the hills of the North Pennines, Simonside and the Cheviots, as well as interesting old towns and villages, such as Barnard Castle, Stanhope and Alnwick.
This excellent book guides walkers of all abilities around both city and country in a series of 25 well-thought-out routes, each accompanied by a helpful map, historical background information and photographs. Brian Conduit is a much-published walk author whose experience and knowledge of the area will be obvious to all who use this beautifully produced book.
