St Oswald's Way and Northumberland Coast Path Guidebook
Description
This Cicerone walking Guidebook describes the St Oswald's Way, stretching 97 miles (156km) through Northumberland from Heavenfield near Hadrian's Wall, to Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and taking in almost the whole length of the Northumberland Coast AONB. It includes an option to continue to Berwick-upon-Tweed on the final stage of the Northumberland Coast Path.
The St Oswold's Way begins in Heavenfield and traverses parts of Northumberland National Park and visits Hadrian’s Wall, the Simonside Hills and the beautiful Coquet Valley, before continuing up the coast to Lindisfarne (Holy Island).
Each trail can be walked in a week with the guidebook providing detailed descriptions and clear, step-by-step instructions that are accompanied by OS mapping, at a scale of 1:50,000.
The guide includes practical advice on when to go and what to take, and information on the region, its weather, wildlife, history and heritage. Also included are public transport options along with accommodation listings.
