This guide covers 34 day walks and one long-distance route in the wild and remote hills of galloway. Although there are some shorter and easier routes, many of these hill walks are long and on rugged terrain, so are more suitable for experienced walkers. The walks cover the evocative areas of the merrick, the awful hand, the rhinns of kells, the minnigaff hills and cairnsmore of fleet, among others.

the guide uses os 1:50,000 maps with detailed route descriptions and inspirational photos accompanying each route. Key information such as distance, time, and ascent are given. A 'harshness' grade gives an indication of how rough the ground is expected to be, and suggestions of variants, shortcuts and ways to extend each walk are also given.

Plenty of background information is given on the region's fascinating and important history. If you like your wild landscape really wild? If you like your lakes to have whooper swans in the middle and no ice-cream vans around the edge? If you like to have one foot on bare rock and the other one deep in a peat bog? If you like your granite with goats on? Then Galloway is the place to go.

Guidebook to the Camino Ingles and Ruta do Mar camino routes through north-west Spain to Santiago de Compostela. The 116km Camino Ingles begins in Ferrol in Galicia and takes around a week to complete. It offers reliable way-marking, pilgrim facilities, and the opportunity to earn the Compostela certificate on completion.

An alternative start in A Coruna gives a walk of 73km. The Ruta do Mar from Ribadeo provides a 190km coastal link between the Camino del Norte and the Camino Ingles. A newly recovered camino, its pilgrim infrastructure and way-marking is less well developed, but for those seeking solitude it offers striking scenery along a wild coastline.

The book also includes an overview of a continuation route from Santiago to 'the end of the world' at Finisterre on the Atlantic coast. The guidebook presents the route in stages of a day's walking. In addition to the route description, there is full information on facilities, food and lodging, 1:100,000 scale maps of the route and town maps for key locations.

With notes on preparation and planning, travel and equipment, a list of useful sources of information, and a glossary, the book is an indispensable companion for any one walking these caminos.

This new guide to Northern Greece, written by Greece expert and long-time travel writer Dana Facaros, is the only guide available to the region and includes the areas of Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace, complete with their five dramatically beautiful national parks, the country's highest peaks and mountain lakes, rushing rivers and the world's deepest gorge, and (this is Greece, after all) long sandy beaches. Sections on background and practical information are followed by an easy-to-follow breakdown of the area offering detailed coverage in 12 chapters, from Greece's second city, Thessaloniki, to Chalkidiki, Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia, Thrace, Western Macedonia, Epirus (including Ioannina), Thessaly and Magnesia, the Pelion Peninsula and the Islands, plus a short chapter on Athens, the gateway for many visitors to Greece. Greece is becoming more popular by the year and this area in particular offers the more natural, authentic experience that many travellers seek.

Bradt's Northern Greece focuses on just this relatively unknown but up-and-coming region and is an ideal companion for travellers of all ages, budgets and interests, from culture lovers to wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs to archaeologists, foodies to wine connoisseurs. Holidays in the great outdoors are covered, too, including mountain climbing, skiing, white water rafting, rock climbing, sailing, canyoning and sea kayaking, not to mention those who just want to sit on a sandy beach and dance the night away.

This new title continues Bradt's coverage of lesser-known but increasingly popular Italian regions and is the only guide available to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region that forms the major part of the hinterland of Venice (but does not - despite the name - include Venice itself), and which is a convenient and fascinating place to spend time on the beach, in the Alps or relaxing in the country. It is notable also for its wines and distinctive cuisine, which, with touches of neighbouring Austria and Slovenia stirred in, are starting to attract attention around the world. Written by long-time travel authors and Italy specialists Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, background and practical information are complemented by ten easy-to-follow chapters, covering Trieste, its coast and the Carso, the Friuli coast, Gorizia and the Collio, Udine, Pordenone and Western Friuli, and the mountains: the Friulian Dolomites, Carnia and the Julian Alps.

This new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Falkland Islands remains the only detailed and wide-ranging standalone travel guidebook to this British Overseas Territory and is ideal for independent, cruise-ship and tour-group visitors alike. It includes all recent information needed for a smooth trip, including on restaurants and hotels in Stanley, conservation issues, wildlife-watching trips, history and how to explore beyond the capital. The main islands - East and West Falkland - are covered, as are the smaller Bleaker, Kidney, Sea Lion, Pebble, New, West Point, Carcass, Saunders, Keppel, Weddell, Staats and Beaver islands.

Situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, over 500 km from South America, the Falkland Islands are one of the world's truly wild places, full of unspoilt scenery and wide vistas. A photographer's delight and a must-visit location for those interested in the wild outdoors, the islands are home to major populations of albatrosses, penguins, dolphins, seals and other wildlife plus 3,600 people. It's not all about penguins, though, as the islands' spectacular scenery, comfortable accommodation, good wholesome British food and welcoming people create a wonderful place to visit.

The thriving city of Stanley gives way to the wild open spaces of camp (rural areas) with its scattered settlements, long sandy beaches, isolated islands and rocky outcrops. History enthusiasts will be in their element, visiting sites ranging from the islands' first British settlement to areas that were significant during the 1982 war. With Bradt's Falkland Islands you can plan how to fly between islands, drive across the camp in a 4x4 vehicle, visit multiple penguin colonies (where these charismatic birds behave as if you are not there), sample smoko (a wide range of cakes and biscuits, served during a morning or afternoon tea break), watch black-browed albatrosses at their nest, be investigated by 'Johnny Rooks' (curious birds of prey), spot dolphins in the shallows, visit the magnificent collection of artefacts from around the islands at Stanley's Historic Dockyard Museum and learn from local residents about life in this wildest of places.

Whatever your interest, this is the essential guide for a successful trip.

This new guide to the idyllic and popular county of somerset from expert author and somerset resident norm longley is ideal for both visitors and locals alike with its mix of visitor information, history, culture and anecdote, not to mention coverage of wildlife, birdwatching, walking, cycling and other outdoor activities. Accommodation and restaurants - and cider - are covered, too: As longley himself says, he often spends weekends 'roaming the somerset countryside in search of exciting and/or novel things to do - or at the very least, hunting down good food and drink.'divided into seven easy-to-explore geographical regions, from bath and north somerset through wells and the mendips to exmoor national park and international dark sky reserve, this is an indispensable companion for everyone from culture devotees to outdoor adventurers, birders to beach lovers, transport enthusiasts to event-goers, families to foodies. The somerset levels are covered, and so too are quantock and blackdown hills, the coast, and east and south somerset.

Somerset is consistently seductive: Windswept marshes and wild moorland, enchanting upland areas, iron-flat lowland terrain, limestone gorges, and a forty-mile long stretch of coast with rocky coves, fossil-filled cliffs and a tiny offshore island. And, of course, there's the unesco world heritage city of bath, with its beautifully preserved roman baths, graceful georgian architecture and enticing gastronomic possibilities. Bradt's somerset covers all this and more, from the glastonbury festival to the american museum and gardens, carnivals to quirky local customs, the longest heritage railway in britain to england's first designated area of outstanding natural beauty, and a good dash of legend and myth too, from king arthur at avalon and camelot, to the country's third largest complex of standing stones at stanton drew.
