Synopsis

The Midlands and South Pennines are where the English Lowlands give way to the mountains of the north and west. In both the Welsh Marches and southern Pennine moors, this landscape of contrast contains both the wooded hills and grass scarplands of the south together with the high moorlands and cragged uplands of Wales and Northern England. This volume describes the ascent of each of the distinct summits across the region that are below 2,000 feet in altitude. With route maps and photographs, the walks in this book range from gentle strolls to rewarding hikes. It is divided into five sections, each one beginning with an explanation of the area's geology to enhance walkers' understanding of the landscape they are exploring. It also contains an introduction and advice on footpaths and rights of way, plus tips on hill safety and conditions for both the novice and experienced walker alike. It provides information on the hill names, details of local accommodation, and a list of contacts.
