Описание книги

An inspirational larger format guidebook to Britain's National Trails – 19 long-distance walking routes through England, Wales and Scotland. Together, these routes (National Trails in England and Wales and Scotland's Great Trails) cover well over 3100 miles (5000km), exploring the rich scenic and historic countryside of Britain.
Perfect for planning, the book offers stage by stage overviews for the full breadth of the network, including the popular South West Coast Path, Hadrian's Wall Path, West Highland Way, Cotswold Way, Offa's Dyke Path, South Downs Way, Southern Upland Way and many others exploring the beauty and wild country of the British Isles.
Outline schedules for each Trail allow you compare the routes and become inspired to take up the challenge, whether on a relatively short or easy trail, or to tackle a longer, more strenuous route. Basic day-by-day route descriptions for each Trail are illustrated with maps and profiles, helping you choose the best routes to walk. Information is provided on access to and from the routes, maps, public transport, guidebooks, TICs, accommodation and useful websites.

THE NATIONAL TRAILS

19 LONG-DISTANCE ROUTES THROUGH ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES

DAY 16 PERRANPORTH TO PORTREATH 20KM (12½ MILES)

Bustling Perranporth is left behind as the coast path continues along bleak and rugged cliffs, passing old mine shafts, crumbling engine houses and gaunt chimneys. Around St Agnes there was once a thriving mining area, and anyone wishing to know more about the industry should visit the Blue Hills Tin Streams. Exhibits show how tin ore was crushed, washed and smelted. Because of its past industry, this area, together with other places along the coast to St Just, has been designated a world heritage site. After passing Trevaunance Cove, where the old harbour has been destroyed by storms, the trail runs round rugged St Agnes Head and later drops down to Chapel Porth. Paths climbing direct from this point are dangerous, so head inland as signposted and pick up the cliff path to Porthtowan. Walk from the Unicorn to the Beach Hotel to get back onto the cliffs, and pass a landmark flue chimney. Walk beside an extensive MOD property on Nancekuke Common until diverted onto a road at Lighthouse Hill. Walk down into Portreath, whose little harbour is made of stout stonework.
