Book Description
The London LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) is the newly created network of footpaths around the periphery of the capital. It is the result of ten years' work by the London Walking Forum to devise a route encompassing some of the glorious countryside that lies within easy reach of the heart of London. Every key point where you might want to join or leave the path is accessible with a Travelcard. And while the LOOP has obvious attractions for London's vast walking public, the paths are so accessible and easy to follow that even a complete beginner can jump on a bus or train and enjoy a brief escape from the city.
This new Recreational Path Guide divides the London LOOP into 15 convenient sections, illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs and 1:25 000 maps, specially prepared by the Ordnance Survey. The sections represent day walks of reasonable length, each starting and finishing at a public transport point; the author also suggests points at which the walks can be broken down into shorter sections by getting back on a train or bus. Key sites along the route are numbered in the text and on the maps for easy identification.
The London LOOP is the essential accompaniment to this exciting new country walk, only a short bus or train ride away from the suburbs.
