Most of the walks avoid busy roads, & are designed to help you make the most of a holiday or day trips. There are notes on parking, pubs & things to see on the route. They also include GPS waypoints so you can confirm your location using a handheld GPS. Key places covered by these walking include the Windrush valley, roman ruins, the village of Syde (where Laurie Lee of Cider with Rosie grew up) & Coombe hill. The combination of idyllic stone villages & small towns in gentle, rolling countryside make the Cotswolds quintessentially ' English'. Cotswold stone varies in colour, depending on the area, ranging from light grey through to pale cream, honey & light brown. The natural variation in the limestone is what helps towns & villages such as Castle Combe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Burford, Arlington, Broadway, Chipping Campden, Snowshill & Stanton, all featured in walks in this guide, blend so attractively into the natural surroundings. This is one of a series of books with great walking routes covering the most popular & scenic areas of Britain. ...

The January Man is the story of a year of walks that was inspired by a song, Dave Goulder's ' The January Man'. Month by month, season by season & region by region, Christopher Somerville walks the British Isles, following routes that continually bring his father to mind. As he travels the country
- from the winter flood lands of the River Severn to the lambing pastures of Nidderdale, the towering seabird cliffs on the Shetland Isle of Foula in June & the ancient oaks of Sherwood Forest in autumn
- he describes the history, wildlife, landscapes & people he encounters, down back lanes & old paths, in rain & fair weather. This exquisitely written account of the British countryside not only inspires us to don our boots & explore the 140, 000 miles of footpaths across the British Isles, but also illustrates how, on long-distance walks, we can come to an understanding of ourselves & our fellow walkers. Over the hills & along the byways, Christopher Somerville examines what moulded the men of his father's generation
- so reticent about their wartime experiences, so self-effacing, upright & dutiful
- as he searches for 'the man inside the man' that his own father really was. About the author Christopher Somerville is the walking correspondent of The Times. He is one of Britain’s most respected & prolific travel writers, with forty-two books, hundreds of newspaper articles & many TV & radio appearances to his name. He lives in Bristol.

The Future Mapping Company Kent County Map

With its abundance of ancient castles, Roman remains and steam railways, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Kent was set in the past. The Future Mapping Company's Kent County map gives “The Garden of England” a contemporary upgrade worthy of Margate's Turner gallery. This map spans from Stratford in East London, out to Botany Bay for a spot of fossil hunting and down to Camber Sands for sandcastle building in the South. The contours of the North Downs and High Weald Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are highlighted in our signature eye-catching contrast, making you long for a rural getaway filled with walks and pub lunches. Railway lines are given prominence in black over our silvery road infrastructure, so you could plan your next weekend break in Rye without the parking and
traffic stress. Heritage railways are a Kent specialty, so we gave them some extra care in a shimmering teal. As a finishing touch, The Future Mapping Company's legend (or key, if you're not as much of a map nerd as we are!) features an evocative line drawing of the traditional Kent Oast Houses you'll see on your travels. The Future Mapping Company prints their maps on to the highest quality FSC approved silk-coated paper using the lithographic printing process. (This works like a mechanised version of traditional screen printing.) A plate is made for each colour and then laid down individually, creating a stunning print with maximum definition and impact. A sealer is applied to protect the inks and gloss UV varnish used to add contrast and highlight water tributaries.
