Book Description

28 May 2010 Country Walking

These 100 Greatest Walks have been chosen by Country Walking magazine, Britain’s most popular walking journal. This is a marvellous companion for all those who enjoy walking and hiking in the British countryside. The book highlights the extraordinary variety of scenery in the UK and on many walks it is possible to mix and match landscapes to awesome effect. 

This practical guide provides you with all the information you need to select a country walk and then to enjoy a day’s walking. Split into regional sections, each walk guide includes:

  •      a map (taken from the OS maps);
  •      a detailed route guide;
  •       information on how to get there, where to park, refreshments, toilets, etc.
  •      detailed advice on how long (in distance and time) and how difficult the walk will be;
  •      each walk is printed on amazing waterproof and tear-proof paper and bound in a practical ring-binder so you can take individual walk guides with you on the day.

The walks in this collection will guide you to fascinating places and magnificent views, creating memories you will cherish forever. The guides offer a wide variety of walks from easy strolls to more challenging hikes so there is something for everyone. They are compiled by experts who know their patch like the back of their hands, and who skilfully link paths and tracks to make your walks as smooth as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good walks for serious walkers 21 May 2012
Format:Loose Leaf|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've now done about half a dozen of the walks in here and really like the book and the walks. They are pretty well spread across the UK, so there is likely to be something near you, but I really wanted these walks so that when on holiday or visiting friends I would have a couple of local options rather than having to buy a new walk book for every part of the country and in that respect it works well.

The selection of walks is good, although there are quite a lot of mountains in there, so while definitely being for walkers and not climbers, if you find gradients a challenge then this might not be for you.

There are a few shorter walks of 2-3 hours, but the majority are around the 4-5 hour mark, with a fair few of 6-7, so these are definitely for people who want a full day out.

The maps are taken from the OS maps (although it's a good idea to buy the OS map too), and the descriptions are concise and clear. I really like the ring binder format, which means you can just take one sheet of paper with you rather than having to carry the whole book and the paper is quite hard wearing.

The walks I've done so far have been pretty stunning in their geography, and it makes you realise what a beautiful country we live in. I have quite a few walk books on the shelf, but this is definitely my favourite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Walks in Britain 25 April 2011
Format:Loose Leaf|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good book. Brought for a present, much appreciated by recipient. Ring binder type of book is very practical as too is the plastic/waterproof paper on which it is printed. Would be good if there were other in this series, or ones that were region specific and not UK wide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great format and very useful 23 Jan 2013
Format:Loose Leaf|Amazon Verified Purchase
Like the format and loose leaf approach - you can simply take out the page for the selected walk and its waterproof too. Would have given 5 stars but have found a couple of annoying editing errors.
