There are quite few books on walking in the area and on this page are listed some of the ones that we find useful.  Most are available in local bookshops and many can be obtained in Tourist Information Centres.  In the case of a few we have given the other sources.  There are also a number of small leaflets describing individual walks and these are generally available at TICs or local shops and pubs near the walk.
