SOUTHERN ENGLAND

This really is the perfect 'WALKER'S GUIDEBOOK,' for anybody who is living or visiting the South of England.

  • The inclusion of nearly 200 "Colour photographs", make it an ideal Birthday or Christmas gift to any walker.

The 50 Walking areas chosen for this book have been selected on the basis that they offer enough open countryside for a substantial 5 hour walk, and that there is a substantial summit which offers a good viewpoint. There are no giant 4000ft hills of course in Southern England, but we hope that you will like the selection of the 50 different areas chosen. Every area is listed below, and has a brief title as used in the book. There are a total of 160 hills ascended by all the walks in the book, which pretty comprehensively covers the region.

MAJOR POINTS for anybody who is living or visiting the South of England.
