The Pennine Way

With an eloquent mix of history and personal recollection, Roly Smith paints a vivid picture of how Tom Stephenson battled against the authorities before finally prevailing with his plan to see free access from Edale to Scotland over some of the most fiercely protected grouse moors in England. The quality of John Morrison's photography gives due credit to the grand-daddy of our long distance paths; from limestone pavements to gritstone moors, the pages make the route come alive in the reader's living room.

A worthy addition to their bibliographical endeavours.

The huge section of photographs by John Morrison is stunning and makes this coffee table book the beautiful book it is.

An inspiration to those contemplating the walks, a memento for those who have completed them, or simmply a means of enjoying the journey for those not wishing to leave the comfort of their armchairs.

We hope this glorious book captures your imagination and tempts you to explore this breath-taking part of the country for yourself!

This handsome book has dozens of gorgeous colour photographs, superbly presented.

John Morrison's evocative images of the surprisingly sun-blessed and colourful uplands dispel the perception of a bleak, rain-lashed landscape of gritstone and bog.

Much more than a trail guide for trekkers. What makes it so distinctive is how often it departs from the now well-beaten out path, with striking illustrations, the stark beauty of the country through which the Pennine Way passes.
