Book Description
These 12, circular walks, one for each month of the year, visit a range of exceptional locations in Cheshire. You have the option of a full or half-day walk to each spot, whilst the month-by-month approach encourages you to walk in harmony with the changing seasons - dispelling the false perception of walking as an activity suitable only for summer. The routes range from 4 to 12 miles, and all feature a point of special interest: churches, castles, canals or monuments . Each destination has something special to offer at the particular time of year: Swettenham's Daffodil Dell, Audlem's canal boats in the summer, winter birds along the wilderness of the Dee Estuary or Shuttingsloe transformed by snow. There is special emphasis on unusual features of the countryside and landscape, plus detailed route descriptions, maps & colour photos. Illuminating commentary highlights the weather patterns, folklore, country customs, festivals and natural history of each month. With its details of flowers, birds and animals to spot - this guide would be excellent for families.
