From the Back Cover
All the routes in this book have been carefully researched and written by experienced walks authors, and every effort has been taken to ensure accuracy. However, villages and their surrounding lands are prone to change and features mentioned as landmarks many alter or disappear completely. The changing seasons also greatly affect the appearance of the walks and paths may become overgrown during the summer months.
