This is Book 17 in the exciting new series of full-colour Pocket Walks small, practical sized guidebooks aimed at the less serious rambler. Full colour photographs and colourful sketch maps accompany each of the well described walks, with the bonus of making it an attractive souvenir of the area. Principal feature is that all walks are less than five miles in length (though averaging 4 miles each, they are all very definitely worthwhile outings), making them ideal for families, leisure walkers, and those constrained by either time or other limitations. Concise route descriptions are complemented by ample background information. This title deals with the Pendle district in East Lancashire. Twenty superb walks use starting points such as Clitheroe, Downham, Sawley and Waddington. Places visited include Stonyhurst, Longridge Fell, Bolton-by-Bowland, Ribchester and the River Hodder. This is launched in unison with a guide to the neighbouring area Around Pendle, which neatly complements this area and also adjoins the previously published guide to Bowland. Also published at the same time are Swaledale and Sedbergh & Dentdale, both in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
