This website has been designed to complement and support the Herriot Way guidebook "Walking the Herriot Way" by Stuart W. Greig. These pages provide a host of supplementary information that is just not possible to store and maintain in a printed guidebook, but is nevertheless very important to anyone considering walking the Herriot Way.

The guide book provides detailed walking descriptions for the 55 mile, circular trail in both directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise). It also includes 20 hand-drawn maps to help you navigate the route.

Every stile, every gate, every change of direction is described so that you can be sure of walking the route with ease and confidence. The Gallery section of the site has photographs of many section of the Way, so landmarks will seem like familiar friends when you look for them on the trail.

The detailed walk descriptions and maps are supplemented by additional useful information for walkers, such as; information on getting to the walk, a comprehensive town and village directory covering all the settlements along the route and several just off the route too. It includes details on the different types of accommodation available along the route and contact information for companies that can help you book a holiday, carry your luggage or help you get to and from the start.

A printed version of the guide book is available for walkers following the route in a clockwise direction. This printed guide costs £10.00 (including postage to the mainland UK) and that price includes an electronic version (PDF file) of the guide book as well. That means you could, for example, print the route description and the maps and carry them in a waterproof map case. Keeping the book safe and dry at home.

Printed guide books can also be shipped outside the UK - just select your location at the checkout.

An electronic edition of the guide book is also available, for anti-clockwise walkers only and is modestly priced at £5.00, which will allow you to print the whole book yourself, as often as you like. This version of the guide book is provided via email in a PDF file, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader (or similar program) to read and print the book.
