This handy, pocket-sized book is packed full of information on walks in the south-east, all accessible by public transport. There are walks for everybody, ranging from two-day hikes on the South Downs Way through to short but picturesque walks and rainy-day rambles ending at country pubs for lunch.
Routes are clearly explained in detail: there's no getting lost, and the book is a must for all seasons.

This really is the best present we ever had. There is a walk for every mood and every season- we did have to make a spreadsheet to sort the details about length, ease, travelling time to get there, saturdays/ Sundays Seasons when cafes and stately homes would be shut- but we are nerds like this. We have had a fabulous 2 years working our way through the walks, and we are going to rewalk our favourites.
It is a rare walk when we don't meet someone else using the book and raving over it. There are great views and sites of interest on every walk , both long and short- it is a few years since it was published , so you might want to phone ahead to check the pubs and inns are serving on the day you go. Numbers are given in the book.

There are some lovely walks here ,but there is more research needed for each walk in terms of finding the best route. For example, the walk at Boxhill takes you along a ghastly section of dual carriageway for about 10 minutes when there is a public footpath that avoids most of it. In addition, on reaching the summit of Boxhill, it takes you on a route that avoids the beauty spot and and viewing point of Boxhill itself. Great shame! I've found a couple of the other walks to be similar in not taking the best route.
Still, some fabulous walks and I've found the instructions on teh routes easy to follow and very accurate.

Good walks, but take a map as well!
There are many good things about this book: the walks go through genuinely lovely countryside, all start and finish as railway stations and include suggested lunch stops. Read more

Good book with clear instructions. The walk from Tring to Ivinghoe Beacon and back is excellent.

More south east than London
Best for people who live in London rather than those on short visits as only 7 of the 33 walks are in the centre of London: 5 of those are in the Hampstead/Camden/Hackney area and... Read more

Before coming across this book, I'd never realised how easy it was to get out of London and walk in relatively open landscapes. We now walk regularly. Read more
