The bestselling Pies and Prejudice is a hugely enjoyable journey around the north of England.

From the splendor of the Pennines and the Lake District to the drama of the Dorset coast; from the canals of the Midlands to wildest Scotland, this book is an attempt to explain a passion for walking and the delights it can bring.
