The first great thing about this book is the size, it fits comfortably in any coat pocket. The walks are cleverly described using some wonderful photos. Deirdre has once again shown a great ability to provide the reader with some great local knowledge.
I found it extremely helpful to have the map references included in the introduction so that I could check the details before starting off.
I am looking forward to doing all 20 walks over the next few months

I've only done one walk from this book so far but was very impressed. The routes have a good variation between the downs and lowland countryside and there are plenty of short cuts on longer walks if you don't want to do the full distance. Directions are extremely clear even when the paths on the ground are not so there is little chance of getting lost.
We are really enjoying this book and have completed the first three walks so far. The routes are really well thought out to cover a range of terrain and the lengths are spot on. We've taken picnics on each so far and have found a lunch break about all you need. You could take the walks much slower but generally we have taken around 4 hours with a decent break in the middle. The size of the book makes it handy to pop in a pocket and the directions are clear and simple. Can't fault it really!
