Grab your walking boots and best foot forward!,
This review is from: Walking in Britain (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
I've been trying to think of someone this book wouldn't be suitable for, and after hours of deliberation, I can't, because whether you're a virgin walker, a keen Sunday strider, or a gung-ho devotee of long treks come (usually) rain or come (less usually) shine, this book will appeal to you. One of the best things about all of the Lonely Planet guidebooks is the captivating way in which they present the information. They inform, without talking down to you, and they also allow for differing interests, abilities and experiences in their readership. The information and facts are logically and geographically presented and try as I might, I couldn't come up with one single question that they had not answered in this book. What I especially love about this is that people who are visiting the UK but who hadn't been aware of these beautiful places might be inspired to visit - a great book for Countryside Evangelists! So what will you find out? Well, where to walk. Where to stay when you are embarking on a walk. Very importantly, where the pubs are if you want to break up your walk with a nice warm pint and a Ploughmans lunch. Strolling, ambling and pottering are dealt with alongside yomping, hiking and sports-walking, so everyone can enjoy the surroundings, new areas and facilities no matter what their fitness or physical ability. Now for the really judgemental nitty gritty stuff. This is the best walking book around at the moment, primarily because it does not require you to already own thick-soled walking boots, every ordnance survey map ever published, and a hiking stick complete with little metal badges boasting of all the difficult walks you have already done. It just requires your interest in exploring the country off-road, consideration for the surroundings and an appreciation of natural beauty. Grab your camera, stuff this book in your rucksack, and put your best foot forward.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Resource!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Walking in Britain (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
I've found the guide to be one of the most comprehensive books available on UK long distance walking. I'm currently planning a walking holiday in Scotland, and although it provides somewhat limited coverage of that region of the UK, it has given me an excellent base from which to plan the trip. The additional resources that are listed against each of their routes means you are unlikely to need anything else as a reference guide. On top of all that, the writing is of a clear and accurate style that makes general browsing of the book an all round enjoyable experience, unlike other titles currently available.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful guide for the foreign visitor,
By Chris Lawton (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walking in Britain (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
This is a very well assembled A5 size guide to the major walks in Britain. There is a wealth of information provided, but it must be said that this book is clearly aimed at the foreign visitor to the UK. It is absolutely loaded with information about all sorts of things. Innocently, I purchased this book hoping for some coverage of walks in south east England, but was disappointed to find only the 2 long distance Downs paths covered. What about the 1066 Way that snakes through the High Weald, an area of outstanding natural beauty and steeped in history? (And, incidentally, where I live). Carping aside, this is a super book and given it's context it does the job well. Perhaps it needs more than one Guide? If the publishers are interested I would happily do the South East England edition:)
