A comprehenisive guide to UK cycle routes
We cycle a lot as a a family but I never realised Britain had so many easy, car-free trails. This book has some great ideas about where to go close to where we live (many of which we knew) but was really useful on holiday in Devon where we didn't have a clue about local trails. The new edition mentions lots of websites where you can often download maps. It has given us loads of ideas for summer rides with the kids and we take it with us whenever we go on holiday in the UK. I really don't see how the book could contain maps for 400 routes as the previous reviewer suggests. This is just the kind of book we need to encourage more family riding.Thoroughly recommended.

Much better books out there
Not useful enough! Virtually impossible to find the start of the routes. No maps. No sensible pointers on how to start the trails. Probably ok if you have a good map of the area, but if you have that you probably don't need this book at all.

Traffic-free Cycle Trails: More Than 400 Routes Around Britain

I liked this book its easy to understand and gives a good clear veiw of the terain that you are planning on cycling, it also shows whether it is hard standing or whether it is grass and also says where the route is down or up hill. Where you have to cross a busy main road is listed and it also gives a clear referance to other booklets for futher information. Overall a good standing buy.

What the book lacks is maps but the book makes up for this in other ways like the illistrations of where to start and what to look out for along the route, in some ways the book also proves that you are on a cycle path by showing pictures of people cycling the route.

For someone like me who has just recovered from a heart attack and not rode a bike for twenty years it shows how much the enviroment has improved where as twenty years ago cycle tracks and paths were only being talked about.

The book showed many cycle tracks where I live that I was unaware of as I live in Gloucester, I highly recomend this book
