In 2003 this number had risen to a staggering 32 million.

Nice pictures, little useful information,

This review is from: 1001 Walks in Britain (Automobile Association of Britain Guides) (Paperback)
If you have a car, don't like long walks, and enjoy glorious pictures of short walks in Britain, you will enjoy this book, and find it useful. However, if you are interested in serious walks you will be disappointed. There is almost no information about the famous British "LDPs" -- Long Distance Paths; these are walks lasting from several days to several weeks across some of the best and most historic landscape in Britain. Lonely Planet "Walking in Britain" is a much better source.
