The guidebook describes 45 day walks across eight areas of Gran
Canaria, including Las Palmas in the north to Playa del Ingles in
the south. Also included is a five-day coast-to-coast route on the
GR131, an island-hopping long-distance trail stretching across all
seven of the Canary Islands. There are walks suitable for those of
all abilities, ranging in landscape from coastal clifftops to the
dramatic volcanic mountains inland. Walks venture through villages
and towns, and up to the summits of the highest peaks on Gran
Canaria. Each walk gives information on access (predominantly using
the island's good bus services), details of places offering food
and drink, and notes on the interesting features passed along the
way. The book also provides lots of background information on
geology, wildlife, plants and flowers as well as practical
information on accommodation, currency and language. Gran Canaria
is a hugely popular holiday destination but despite this it offers
many peaceful locations for walkers to explore and some truly
beautiful and striking scenery. This collection of walks showcases
the island's remarkably varied landscapes - from arid semi-desert
to moist laurisilva 'cloud forests' and rugged mountains and coast.
London is a city with a cornucopia of secret places, being ancient,
vast and in a constant state of flux. Newcomers have, of course, a
wealth of world-renowned attractions to keep them occupied for a
month of Sundays, which are more than adequately covered in a
plethora of standard guide books. What Secret London does is take
you off the beaten path to seek out the more unusual places and
sidestep the chaos and queues of London's tourist-clogged
attractions and visit its quirkier, more mysterious side. Featured
places includes some of the city's loveliest buildings, secret
gardens, bizarre museums, 'lost' graveyards, medieval pubs,
cutting-edge art and design, and much more.
This guidebook to Walking in the Chilterns offers 35 of the best
walks in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
Chiltern Hills is a peaceful walking destination of chalk hills and
ancient woodlands within easy reach of London. The walks in this
guidebook range from 4 to 12 miles and are suitable for most
walkers. The walks take you on a journey through this classic
Chiltern landscape that has been shaped by human activity for
thousands of years, visiting interesting historic sites, colourful
gardens and picture-postcard villages with thatched cottages,
fascinating churches and cosy pubs. Step-by-step route directions
include lots of information about all these sites along the way,
and are illustrated with clear OS mapping and vibrant photographs.
GPX files are available to help with navigation. There is also
information on the region's rich geology, history and plantlife, as
well as advice on accommodation, transport and refreshments. The
Chiltern Hills follow a line of chalk from the River Thames at
Goring up to the Barton Hills just west of Hitchin, boasting great
views from the north west edge and, on the south east side, a more
intimate undulating landscape of rounded hills and valleys, covered
in a mix of broadleaved woodland and open farmland. Despite its
relative proximity to London, the region abounds in peace and
tranquility, making it an idyllic destination for a day's walk in
the countryside.
