Each route contains details of the natural history, geology and archaeology of the area descriptively written by Edward Baker who has lived his whole life in the region. For ease of reference, the book is in two sections, covering the northern and southern Cheviots - distinct areas with their own unique character.
There are 47 walks - by far the most comprehensive collection published for the Cheviots. Routes vary from 1.5 to 14 miles in length, and from a gentle stroll in the College valley to a strenuous climb to Auchope, high on the Border Ridge.
