Product Description
Product Description
Walking is one of Britain's favourite leisure activities, and with "50 Walks in Cornwall" you can find a variety of mapped walks to suit all abilities - from the casual walker to the experienced hiker. This book features all the practical detail you need, accompanied by fascinating background reading on the history and wildlife of the area, as well as other local points of interest. All walks are annotated with places to visit along the way: 'While You're There', featuring churches, country houses, museums, villages and towns. Each walk also has refreshment information: 'Where to Eat and Drink', including tea rooms and pubs, with extra details on their character and the food on offer. A 'What to Look For' panel features more specific details of urban and industrial heritage, flora and fauna. Every walk is given a summary of distance, time, gradient, level of difficulty, type of surface and access, landscape, dog friendliness, parking and public toilets.

Format:Paperback
My boyfriend and I recently dared to take my family's dog on a weeks trip to Mevagissey, Cornwall, and departed armed with this book. The intention was to walk at least 14 of the 50 routes, but we enjoyed them so much we ended up doing 23! The routes are clearly represented and described in the maps and accompanying pages, meaning we could enjoy the walks rather than worrying about getting lost. Decent labeling on the maps allowed to to plan the days in advance, and we found the marks for 'dog-friendliness' applied to each walk especially useful. Rest stops and carparks are also marked, as well as scores for total ascent and walk difficulty.
All told, this is a very well organised, clear and useful guide to walking in Cornwall. Definitely a book to buy if you're planning your own trip, and especially if you're taking the dog!

The book presents the walks attractively and makes you want to get started. The walks are also well varied in their lengths, their landscapes and their terrain. There is also a good mix of sea and countryside aspects. The book includes useful background information about the surrounding places. There is one glaring ommision in that there is not a map for every walk.

I bought this book for a three week holiday in Cornwall and Devon . My partner and I had great intentions of doing all the walks - but in reality we only did 5 or 6.
What I can say for sure is that the walks we dud were easily followed. The maps were clear and the instructions were good. We always did the walks under the time recommended - something which is alway more pleasant than coming in far later than supposed to!
The walks are displayed in terms of fitness levels required - mild, medium, moderate and each walk takes you through differing topographies and environments. Points of intersting local information ate given as well.
Best of all it's a handy small and light book - easy to have in the pocket as you ramble away! I have it on my bookshelf, ready for my next trip to Cornwall :)

walking the wilder side
A excellent selection of walks in Cornwall and will make for interesting exploration on future visits to the County. Current "white out" precludes visiting in the near future !!
