National Trail from London to the river's source in Gloucestershire
De Cicerone wandelgids en/of fietsgids heeft een handzaam formaat en de informatie in de gids is steeds bijzonder compleet. De tochten zijn geordend per streek, met diverse uitstapjes in de locale historie.
Start/eindpunt, afstand en hoogteverschillen zijn prima aangegeven. Verder kleur kopieën van de topografische kaarten 1:50.000 met de wandelroutes ingetekend. Zijn wat minder dan bij de meeste Duitse gidsen maar gecombineerd met een goede topografische kaart is dit geen probleem.
Daarnaast is er algemene informatie, een handig lijst van adressen en telefoonnummers van medische voorzieningen, openbaar vervoer, toeristische informatie, etc.
