Scenes from Dales Rail Trails

"It's colourful and well thought-out, with inventive routes and decent 1:25,000 maps."
- Walk magazine

"There is little doubt that this guidebook will attract many more walkers to what is without question, some of the finest fell walking country in Britain; an area which is also uniquely accessible by one of the country's most spectacular railway lines"
- Yorkshire Dales Review

"The maps and instructions should give even the most novice walker confidence to follow the routes independently."
- David Singleton, Settle-Carlisle Railway Journal

"The authors' knowledge and enthusiasm for the area shine through this concise book of varied and contrasting walks"
- Margaret Parker, Strider

"Walkers will be able to take advantage of routes from stations along the famous Settle Carlisle rail line while raising vital funds to preserve Yorkshire’s Three Peaks."
- Paul Jeeves, Yorkshire Post
