Product Description
Product Description
Heart of England' conjures up an image of a largely unchanged, unspoilt rural landscape of farmland and woodland, with slowly meandering rivers, small market towns, old churches and thatched cottages. It is a landscape that inspired William Shakespeare and Edward Elgar. The walks in this guide cover Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and the Worcestershire half of Hereford and Worcester. They vary from woodland walks through the forests of Wyre, Arden and Needwood, hill walks including Abberley Hill and Wenlock Edge, to leisurely walks passing attractive villages such as Bidford-on-Avon and Tanworth-in-Arden.

These guides are brilliant. The walks are arranged with the shortest at the beginning of the book and the longest at the end, so if you haven't done much walking you can ease yourself in gently.
Each walk is detailed over about five pages. There is a Ordnance Survey map showing the complete walk, though they are not large and I would therefore advise you to take a 1:25000 map of the area and a compass that you know how to use. There is a general description of the walk with points corresponding to the map and advice on where to park the car or catch a bus.
I would consider the Pathfinder series to be the best available, as the descriptions of the walks compared to my experiences of these walks mean that the authors must have actually done them.

With this series it's always important to ensure you buy the latest version, as hedges, gates, fences etc have changed! So tip for today is to check the version before buying the very cheapest on offer. (I got mine from Amazon)
I bought this book to do two walks at Long Mynd/Stiperstones. Detail perfect in every way. Good description and made for two perfect days.
No need to drive to suggested start points. We walked Long Mynd from our camp site.
To improve books they could link walks in vicinity especially if area covered overlaps with another book. Notwithstanding this Jarrold is my first choice for description and fact that they use OS maps so scale/detail always consistent.

These pathfinder guides are a pretty reliable source of walks in even the most uninspiring areas. Have found some pleasant excursions using this book and have more left to do.
