Product Description
Review
"'Plenty of good walking by someone who knows the county well'. (The Rambler)"
Product Description
Walking in Kent describes 40 circular day walks in the Garden of England selected by Kev Reynolds. This guidebook includes the best routes from the previous two volumes (now out of print), as well as recently discovered routes in all corners of the county. There's plenty to appeal to both family strollers and determined ramblers, and each route has been rewalked by the author and carefully revised. Come walking in Kent and you'll discover some of Britain's finest non-mountain landscapes, as well as hidden architectural treasures and historic villages. But best of all, there is the surprise of long unhindered views and big skies over Kent, where Britain begins. The guide includes: 40 walks, with variations; easy-to-follow route descriptions; OS map extracts; background information; and full colour illustrations.

These books are not quite perfect. In particular, the maps are a bit too simplified and the instructions are often more interesting than useful. Having said that, in every other respect they are wonderful productions by a real enthusiast for Kent and for the outdoors. Use them as a source of ideas and suggestions and take a good OS map with you, or allow enough time so if you miss a turning it doesn't matter. You were probably too busy admiring the view anyway.
Forty walks for very little money, in the most interesting, the most varied, and the most picturesque county in the whole of Britain. What more could you want? Buy it!

I've done over 30 of the 40 of the walks in this book, several more than once, and have mostly enjoyed them all. My book is in a very sorry weather-beaten state now ! The walks range from 3-8 miles and are well chosen and distributed around Kent (though the majority in the mid and west of the county) so you can take your pick depending on your mood, location, price of petrol (!) and of course the weather. The book is pocket size too which is useful.
I have got lost on more than one occassion due to slightly vague instructions and the hand drawn maps can lack detail, but mostly the directions are good enough. I take an OS map and compass with me on most of the walks, but don't use either very often. Later versions of this book have the OS map printed (very useful!) rather than Kev's hand drawn efforts!
I have several different walk books (my other favourites being the "Adventurous Walks in..." series by Raymond Hugh/Morning Mist) and this is definitely one of the best and has given me and my various friends/girlfriends several (cheap) great days out. I can also recommend Kent: Walks (Pathfinder Guide) which I've reviewed also.

I have done several of the walks in this book, and by and large it is good of it's type. Some issues where footpaths have been rerouted, but that is almost inevitable when considering the length of time it takes to bring a book to publication. I would advise the use of an OS map, as these walks do take you fairly off the beaten track, and it's not always easy to get back on if you do miss the way.
I'd buy it again, and recommend it to a friend, although probably not a complete novice looking for a stroll.
