Stretching approximately 233km (145 miles) from Inverness to John o’ Groats, this coastal route leads you through wild Highland landscapes, along sandy beaches, cliff tops and quiet shorelines, and past attractive towns and villages that offer a welcome break from the solitude of the open coast.

This comprehensive Cicerone guidebook provides everything you need to plan and walk the trail in either direction, with detailed route descriptions broken into 14 stages (each 10–25km/6–16 miles) from south to north, plus summary notes for walkers heading southbound.
