The second volume of the Time Out Book of Country Walks has been fully revised and updated. It features 30 walks within easy reach of London – taking you through glorious countryside, all on scenic footpaths with a minimum of road walking.
Between 4 and 13 miles long, the walks are graded for difficulty and contain meticulous directions. Building on the success of the original book and created by the walking club that grew out of it, these walks are guaranteed to breathe life into the most jaded Londoner.

I am a great fan of the time out book of country walks vol 1.I have done most of the walks therein so its a real pleasure to have yet more walks to choose from in the same fun and easy to follow style.I can highly reccomend the Coulsdon walk and I did the Dover to Deal coastal walk not so long ago and its an absolutely beautiful and unforgettable experience.Hastings to Rye gets the hard slog over at the beginning and another amazing day out. Like many Londoners I love the Smoke but I really need to get out and experience the joys of the countryside as well. All these walks are accessible by public transport and invariably feature avery good pub for lunch andalmost always a good tea stop as well.They are fun to do in a group ( there is a website linked to this book for group walks) but really absorbing and fun on your own. Highly reccomended

For those who don't know these Time Out books of walks, they feature walks in countryside just outside or not far from London that you can easily reach from central London by public transport -- or by car (since in this volume, unlike its predecessor, the start and end points are often the same). They envisage a day's outing, with a stop for lunch in the middle and tea at the end. This is Volume 2, that gives 30 walks as a supplement to Vol. 1's 52. The most obvious beauty spots (such as the South Downs) come in both, so this volume is in no way a second best. In fact, it is in some respects an improvement on its predecessor. The one thing I disliked about Vol. 1 was that the walks were all of much the same length -- around 10 miles --, ideal for the determined trekker, but on the long side for someone like myself who prefers to be free to loiter and survey without feeling under any pressure of time. Now Vol. 2 offers for almost every walk a shorter version (often of around 5 miles). It also provides a greater choice of places for refreshment.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single walk I've completed from the book (about 7 now). They are all different and take you to parts of the country that you would never otherwise knew existed. In little more than an hour from London, using either train or car for transport, you can feel yourself relaxing as you walk through country that looks as though nothing much has happened for the past 50 years (although if you don't want to get lost, I would recommend taking a basic compass with you). Added to which, the suggested lunch venues and tea rooms have always been excellent. This book will give you 30 different days out of pure pleasure - more than worth the same price as a London cinema ticket!

Welcome respite
I have enjoyed using this book. Particularly useful since there are a few shorter options which make walks more suitable to do with children, which is our particular pleasure. Read more
