AA Top 50 walks in Cornwall
My boyfriend and I recently dared to take my family's dog on a weeks trip to Mevagissey, Cornwall, and departed armed with this book. The intention was to walk at least 14 of the 50 routes, but we enjoyed them so much we ended up doing 23! The routes are clearly represented and described in the maps and accompanying pages, meaning we could enjoy the walks rather than worrying about getting lost. Decent labeling on the maps allowed to to plan the days in advance, and we found the marks for 'dog-friendliness' applied to each walk especially useful. Rest stops and carparks are also marked, as well as scores for total ascent and walk difficulty.

All told, this is a very well organised, clear and useful guide to walking in Cornwall. Definitely a book to buy if you're planning your own trip, and especially if you're taking the dog!
