Book Description
This is an original approach to countryside exploration and follows Gordon Ottewell's popular 'Literary Strolls in the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean' with 40 varied and attractive short circular strolls throughout Wiltshire and Somerset, each having a strong association with a literary figure. Explore the best of these two fine scenic counties, following in the steps of famous writers who knew and loved them well. None of the walks is over four miles in length, (many have shorter alternatives) and they are greatly varied, taking in some of the finest scenery in the two counties. Each walk description includes route directions, sketch map, information on parking and refreshments and a section on the literary connection, together with details of the book(s) or poem(s) referred to, appealing equally to lovers of literature and landscape. Gordon Ottewell is the author of several walking and strolling guides, and is well known for his 'Armchair Rambler' videos.
