Time Out Country Walks Volume 2

This second volume of country walks contains 30 completely new walks in deep and beautiful countryside. The walks go through woods, along streams and through parks, always avoiding tarmac roads wherever possible. Each of them starts and ends at a railway station about an hour's journey from London, though car parking details are also given for those preferring to drive. The walks range from seven to thirteen miles in length with several options for shortening given and are graded for toughness. There are also highlighted features on particular sites of historical interest which occur on individual walks. Building on the huge success of the original book, and created by the walking club which grew out of it, these walks are guaranteed to breathe life into the most jaded Londoner, and to provide the perfect way to both escape the hurly-burly of city life and discover some of England's finest countryside.

This second volume of the Time Out Book of Country Walks has been created by members of the Saturday Walkers' Club which Nicholas Albery set up when he created the original guide. Nicholas Albery, author of the first edition, died in a car accident in 2001, and all royalties from this book (as with the original) are going to the charity that bears his name, the Nicholas Albery Foundation.
