Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Rambling is the number one outdoor activity in Britain, with more fans even than football, claims the chairman of the Outdoor Writers' Guild in the introduction to the AA Book of Britain's Walks. And this isn't surprising when you consider Britain's scenery. Within one day you can walk "from airy coastal cliffs, sand dunes, through lovely riverside meadows and woods to towering crag-bound lakes and mountains". With such majestic surroundings at our fingertips, it may seem odd to stay in and read a book. But this isn't that sort of book. While its colour photographs of patchwork fields, crumbling castles and wind-whipped trees inspire you to get up out of that armchair, illustrated maps point the way. And you needn't worry that this hefty hardback is too big to carry: each of the 120 maps is reproduced in a rucksack-friendly pocket book.

Each themed walk is accompanied by a coloured panel giving information about distance, terrain, gradients and where to park a vehicle, together with a grading system represented by symbols (three boots indicate mountainous or difficult terrain). Numbered instructions surround each map, offering cryptic tips such as: "At a panorama dial, bear right off the path for a steep short-cut to the summit", ensuring that even losing your way can be fun. --Daren King

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshingly new approach to many different walks, 17 Nov 1999
By A Customer
Although some of the walks are a bit obscure there are definite themes runing throughout this book and the mapping is delightfully illustrated. I would need an os map to find some of the routes on the ground but the handy pocket book which accompanies the big book is a real bonus. It looks stunning as you would expect from the AA, but there appears to be a depth in the walks, with accompanying articles which have plainly been researched by enthusiasts. All in all I'm sure my relatives will be thrilled with it as a Chrimbo present, afterall they don't really have to do the walks to enjoy them!
