4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to hiking in all areas of Great Britain., July 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet Walking in Britain (Serial) (Paperback)

A good resource for both single and multi-day hikes in all areas of Great Britain. Text is divided into regional sub-sections, making it easy to match your reading to the areas you plan to visit. A fair number of the most popular or readily accessible hikes in each region are thoroughly described. A biblography at the end of each regional section recommends sources of more detailed information about walking in a given area. Detailed listing of "support services": food, lodging, transportation for each listed walk.

The book is small sized, and easily packable, yet the print is easily legible and the pages sturdy enough to withstand traveling and frequent referencing.

A good starting place for hikers not familiar with the area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walking in England? This is for you, August 29, 2000

By	Ben Johnson (Stroud, Gloucestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Walking in Britain (Serial) (Paperback)

Picture this. I have spent money and time in finding the right routes. I have just come in from a day walking in Snowdonia and I'm sitting down to eat in a YHA. The man next to me is from Romania. He has just arrived and is equipped with one book which he lets me read. In this book I find all of the best bits of my favourite walks. There is something for everybody and it is very informative. I would have saved loads of money and wasted hours on trips that were not really what I wanted - IF I HAD READ THIS BOOK. Buy it even if you are a resident of the UK and think you know it all already (like me!)
