A step-by-step guide to the long distance coastal path, with maps and photographs illustrating the subtle variations from one part of the coast to another. There is background Information on places of interest, details of accommodation to help plan a long distance walk and of transport to help plan shorter stretches.

Also included are features on megaliths, the seaweed industry, and fortifications.
With its user friendly and logical layout and copious colour photographs, this is not only a guide for walkers but also serves as a reference guide to the coast for days out, short breaks or longer holidays.
