The Sunday Times
"The latest book by acclaimed rambling scribe Mark Reid, it once again draws upon his extensive knowledge of the North Country's footpaths, historic villages and premiership boozers."
The Guardian
"The Inn Way books guide you through spectacular scenery to the finest pubs. Great walking, great pubs, it's a winning combination."
Country Walking magazine.
"An hour and a half later, light-headed but not heavy-legged, we arrive at Braithwaite's Coledale Inn, and take our ease among the hot and prostrate walkers sprawled outside on the lawn. Lying there in Skiddaw's mighty shadow with a valedictory pint of Blencathra at my side I feel I've seen the Lakes as they should always be seen: in blazing sun and a beery haze."
