The 6¼ mile route leads through the pretty villages of West Bradford and Waddington. It also takes in parts of the Ribble Way and the Ribble Valley Sculpture Trail. There are short stretches of road walking, but most of the route follows paths by the river or across fields. Despite the profile...

Semer Water is one of only two natural lakes in the Yorkshire Dales. This 5 mile walk takes you around the lake, starting quite gently, following clear paths and tracks up to Stalling Busk, then down a lane to Marsett. From Marsett there is a steep climb up a grassy path to the ridge above the lake....

The first part of the walk leads along roads up away from the river and onto a hillside track. After passing through woodland the path descends to the river and the route then stays fairly close to the river on the way back to Richmond. A footbridge leads to the southern bank. In some parts of this...

Mam Tor stands on the boundary of the limestone scenery of the White Peak and the gritstone moorland of the Dark Peak. It provides stunning views in all directions, and so is a very popular. This 5¾ mile walk starts from one of the Peak District's honeypots, and leads up a typical limestone...

After a gentle start, this 5 mile walk has a very, very steep climb. The middle section is fairly easy, but it ends with a steep descent. The route takes in woodland and open fell, passing two tarns and the isolated hamlet of Watendlath.

This 4 mile route may not climb very high, but it does provide stunning views over Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite Lake and Borrowdale. Most of the route is along paths across open fell. The final stage passes through Springs, Castlehead and Cockshot Woods. The walk can be extended by following the shore walk from Keswick, rather than catching the launch.

There is a variety of interest along this route: historic, architectural, natural history and sculpture. The walk takes you through the hamlet of Winewall then over rough pasture and down to the unique village of Wycoller. From here the route leads along the valley, up the opposite hill to the Atom...

The walk crosses fields before following the coast for most of its length, partly along beaches and partly along the top of low cliffs. The coastal section may not be passable at extreme high tides (although there are alternative paths). There are potentially dangerous drops from the cliff top path and care must be taken on the beach sections at high tide.

Bob Houston, the youngest agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, stepped out of the Department of Justice Building and turned toward home, his heart beating faster than it had in months. It hardly seemed real but he was now a full-fledged agent in the greatest man hunting division in the Federal...
