samaritans way This is a pocket-sized guidebook which sets out a long-distance walking route from Bristol to the North Devon coast. The route, which is on existing rights of way, goes through some of the finest scenery in the South West, including the Mendips, Quantocks, Exmoor, Doone Valley and Brendons. It takes in attractive villages such as Chew Magna, Monksilver, Stogumber, Luxborough and Winsford. The first 100 miles to Lynton, where it joins the Coastal Path, are set out in fine detail, making it accessible to people who are not brilliant map readers. The remaining 30 miles to Croyde Bay (being well waymarked and documented elsewhere) are outlined more briefly. In creating the route, the author reported and followed up forty major footpath faults, thereby opening up paths for local people as well as long-distance walkers.
