Customer Reviews

wow! Some wonderful walks!
I am a great fan of the time out book of country walks vol 1.I have done most of the walks therein so its a real pleasure to have yet more walks to choose from in the same fun and easy to follow style.I can highly reccomend the Coulsdon walk and I did the Dover to Deal coastal walk not so long ago and its an absolutely beautiful and unforgettable experience.Hastings to Rye gets the hard slog over at the beginning and another amazing day out. Like many Londoners I love the Smoke but I really need to get out and experience the joys of the countryside as well. All these walks are accessible by public transport and invariably feature avery good pub for lunch andalmost always a good tea stop as well.They are fun to do in a group ( there is a website linked to this book for group walks) but really absorbing and fun on your own. Highly reccomended

Life-enhancing!
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single walk I've completed from the book (about 7 now). They are all different and take you to parts of the country that you would never otherwise knew existed. In little more than an hour from London, using either train or car for transport, you can feel yourself relaxing as you walk through country that looks as though nothing much has happened for the past 50 years (although if you don't want to get lost, I would recommend taking a basic compass with you). Added to which, the suggested lunch venues and tea rooms have always been excellent. This book will give you 30 different days out of pure pleasure - more than worth the same price as a London cinema ticket!
