Walking Books

Valley View Farm Cottages are situated in the heart of walkers country in the North York Moors and we often have keen walkers staying in our six holiday cottages. With "a staggering 554 square miles" of North York Moors National Park to cover, there are plenty of walks in the area!

I just thought that I would let all you keen walkers know about a family run business that sells walking books. Walking Books is "your one-stop-shop for walking guides, maps and books on Britain's best scenic walks."

The website is easy to navigate around and as well as stocking an excellent and vast selection of walking guides, maps and books that are handy to take out whilst out walking, they also provide help and advice for walkers.

Valley View Farm Cottage guests will be particularly interested in the sections on walking books for the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.

Walking Books has a growing list of walking guides, maps and books for the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales and they currently have 24 titles in stock for you to choose from in the North York Moors category and 48 titles in stock for you to choose from in the Yorkshire Dales category.

A great walkers companion for the North York Moors is the The North York Moors Pack - The Ultimate Walkers Companion £12.95.

This pack contains 20 walks, including one starting right here in our village of Old Byland going to the stunning Rievaulx Abbey!



For those of you with children why not check out the Making Tracks in the North York Moors Fun walks created especially for children £10.95.

This book is a popular choice and has walks on our doorstep created especially for children to enjoy.
