Format:Paperback
Whilst the areas for the walks seem to be lovely, the instructions are lousy. We've done two walks in the New Forest area from this book and got lost on both. The first was #32 Hampshire's Great Garden at Exbury which had us searching for a T-junction at the end of a cornfield. This junction didn't exist but we asked a farmer who headed us off in the right direction by leaving the field and following a lane to the left. Then we were supposed to come back via the mudflats, the highlight of the walk with all the wading birds out at low tide, but couldn't find the access to the beach so ended up walking along the road, rather boring. Yesterday we did another walk from this book, #36 Church Treasures at Minstead. The instruction was to "follow a series of signposts". Well, just how many is a series? We were looking for a gate to the right but no idea of distances are given and we completely missed the gate and headed off for miles through a boring conifer plantation, nearly reaching the A31 before deciding that we'd chuck this book and use another in future.

A thoroughly useful ramblers handbook for the seasoned walker and Sunday family stroller alike. The book offers a clear, easy to absorb format that allows you to select an exciting walk within minutes. I have checked out over 10 of the walks and have not been disappointed in the accuracy or additional information supplied.
The only addition I would suggest would be a larger scale map for each walk (as well as the accurate walk map) as locating some of the more out of the way walks can prove a bit tedious without the use of an Ordinance Survey map.

Everyone involved with the creation of this book should be forced to wander, lost through uninspiring countryside, on dangerous roads, with only a poorly drawn map and a set of sub standard instructions for all eternity.
I doubt that the author or the person updating this book has done any of these walks.
The sections long very narrow roads with fast traffic and no foot path were partially noteworthy.
By a OS map and just take pot luck as you are more likely to have pleasant walk.

Utterly useless - taxi needed
As other reviewers have also noted, while the walks recommended are (presumably) lovely, the directions are useless beyond belief. Read more

Nice walks, lousy directions
I own this book and also the Pathfinder guide to Hampshire and New Forest. 50 Walks has nearly double the number of walks but, as the previous reviewers say, the directions are... Read more
