In either case Bestwalks can help
Bestwalks is the most comprehensive resource on the internet for books on walking throughout the UK and visitor numbers are growing at a steady rate - currently over 1,300 visitors [30,000 hits] per DAY - see latest visitor statistics. What started as a small site to promote my own books on walking has grown into something much more. In particular it offers various other walking related information including a 'PLACES TO STAY' guide comprising hotels, bed and breakfast, self-catering and other accommodation specifically aimed at walkers looking to stay in the most popular walking areas.

The key benefits of advertising on Bestwalks are :-
-
It is far cheaper than most other media, yet still gets results because it is highly targeted towards people who visit those areas featured for a specific purpose, i.e. walking. Furthermore, those establishments located in one of the featured areas and who are also on or near a National Trail will get an advertisement in each section for no additional charge - 2 ads for the price of 1.
-
Bestwalks has a high Search Engine ranking for walking related keywords. As an example, search on Google UK for 'Walking Powys' and Bestwalks is No1 on a list of about 205,000.
