description: Jarrold Publishing continues its bestselling series of Pathfinder walking guides with this new title. Brian Conduit has many years experience in researching, devising and compiling walks for the Pathfinder series and has once again succeeded in writing a book that will appeal to a wide variety of walkers, from those seeking a pleasant country stroll to experienced walkers with a liking for more challenging terrain. This Pathfinder guide covers the part of north east Scotland that lies between the Cairngorms and the sea - a region of varying landscapes, which includes Aberdeen, the 'Granite City', Scotland's third largest metropolis and the beautiful countryside around Balmoral. The area is rich in heritage and history, with regional highlights such as Elgin, Haddo House, Huntly and Crathes Castle featured among the 28 carefully-devised walks. Coastal, town, riverside, country park and hill routes are all incorporated, ensuring that local walkers and visitors alike will be able to make the most of this delightful and unspoilt region.Each walk features an easy-to-follow route description, fascinating background and historical detail and recommendations for points of interest and highlights. The colour maps, specially supplied by the Ordnance Survey, are clearly detailed with the route and markers corresponding to the description in the text. With three grades of walk - easy, moderate and challenging - information on parking and refreshments, practical advice on walking, and information on local organisations, this guide is ideal for locals and holidaymakers, or keen walkers eager to explore the area.
