The package, which is nicely designed, includes an introductory booklet on the area, its history, geology, wildlife and more. Then each of the sixteen walks is presented, with a map, in a handy four page, laminate, guide. Waterproof, easy to read and carry, you can take one at a time, or the whole lot.
Each walk is outlined technically, with distance, map reference, time, footwear, and supported by detailed description and images. Points of interest along the way are also presented.
