A guidebook to 43 circular day walks covering the northern and eastern Yorkshire Dales. The walks range between 3 and 11.5 miles in length, and there are suggestions for devising longer days by combing routes. Step by step route directions include lots of information about the area, and each walk is illustrated with clear OS mapping and vibrant photographs.

From Pateley Bridge and Aysgarth in the East to Kirkby Stephen and Richmond in the north, each valley has a character and history of its own and this guide covers the varied fell and dale landscapes of the Howgills, Mallerstang, Swaledale, Wensleydale, Coverdale and Nidderdale. The north and eastern regions of the Yorkshire Dales are full of wild, rugged fell tops carved by limestone crags, deep scooped-out dales with lonely farms far from villages, the ruins of medieval castles as well as the warm bustle of Dales villages and good pubs. The Howgills north of Sedbergh have a different look, with their wide domes, steep sides and long miles of grassy ridges.

En spennende reiseguide som i tekst og bilder beskriver opplevelser og fakta langs Rv 17. Utgitt i samarbeid med Kystriksveien Reiseliv AS. Tysk utgave.

Den 670 km lange strekningen oppover Namdalskysten, Helgelandkysten og Polarsirkelkysten fram til Bodø er en opplevelse. Noen kaller den verdens vakreste biltur, likevel har ikke masseturismen nådd denne delen av landet. Naturen er storslagen og menneskene gjestfrie. Mulighetene for avstikkere ut i øyverdenen er mange, og den som har tid til å stoppe et par dager for en fisketur eller et opphold i et sjarmerende fiskevær, vil definitivt ikke angre.

Written by award-winning author and experienced naturalist James Lowen, 52 Wildlife Weekends remains the only guide to package Britain's nature-watching highlights into deftly timed, user-friendly holiday suggestions.

Say it's February and you want to watching otters. Or May: time for spring flowers and bewitching butterflies. Or July, and you fancy marvelling at dragonflies.

Or October: the height of bird migration. Whenever in the year you get a chance to escape, this book suggests 48 hours' worth of brilliant wildlife-watching - perfect for staycations, whether as a weekend or part of a longer holiday. 52 Wildlife Weekends suggests a year's worth of short breaks celebrating the full range of Britain's most exciting wildlife, from tiny silver-spotted skipper butterflies to gargantuan basking sharks, and from seabird skyscrapers to ostentatious orchids.

Find out how, where and when to track down such thrilling creatures as beavers and basking sharks, eagles and otters, dolphins and dragonflies, glow worms and grey seals. Why not open the New Year on a real-life wild goose chase in the Inner Hebrides? Or make a spring pilgrimage to Yorkshire to see truly wild daffodils? Or experience underwater life by peering into rivers for rare fish in Powys, snorkelling in Dorset, or rock-pooling in Devon? Or gawp at starling murmurations, shape-shifting through the autumnal sky, in Suffolk or Somerset.

Combining the very best of travel and wildlife guides, and covering both well-known spectacles and less familiar species, Bradt's 52 Wildlife Weekends has something for everyone - wildlife experts and novice ecotourists alike.

Til fods kommer du tæt på naturen og dig selv.

Læg hverdagen bag dig, snør vandrerstøvlerne, vend ansigtet mod solen og tag af sted. Ny coffee table-bog om vandring.

I takt med at vores verden bliver mere og mere hektisk, er der en voksende interesse for at tage på lange vandreture. Ønsket om at være i et med naturen, og ved hvert skridt at lægge bekymringerne bag sig og udfordre egne grænser, tiltrækker stadigt flere mennesker. 

Derfor opstår der hele tiden nye vandreruter i de europæiske lande, som på forskellige måder udforsker kontinentet: fra kyststier i Wales til Watzmann- passagen, fra højlandstrekking i Island til pilgrimsruter i Spanien og Portugal – og naturligvis den særlige disciplin at vandre gennem Alperne.

Bogens trekkingruter giver et overblik over nogle af Europas smukkeste vandreruter. Der er vandreture, der strækker sig over alt fra et par dage til flere uger, og både ruter, der er afmærket med skilte, og afsides stier, kun indtegnet på kort.

Bogen er en invitation til at udforske kontinentet på en ny måde. Og der findes ikke en mere intens og individuel måde at lære naturen – og sig selv – at kende på.
