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.

the Sunflower Lanzarote travel guide. And on the days when your
feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of
our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Lanzarote guide is

Fascinating Lanzarote is truly extraordinary. Its fate was decided
some two and one-half centuries ago, when the largest volcanic
eruption in recorded history took place, leaving a strange and
alluring countryside in its wake - a landscape littered with
volcanoes and dark streams of jagged lava. This is the backdrop to
nearly every scene on the island, and intriguing sights abound -
none more so than the 'Fire Mountains'. As for hiking in Lanzarote,
there is no better place in the Canaries for just strolling;
trekkers will be in their element here. Each of the walks in this
book takes you to a different corner of the island and shows you a
scenically different outlook. But if walking is not your favourite
pastime, then do explore Lanzarote by car. Whatever your age or
ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you
have a memorable holiday in Lanzarote. Inside the Sunflower
Lanzarote guide book you'll find; 68 long and short walks for all
ages and abilities - each walk is graded so you can easily match
your ability to the level of walk; Topographical walking maps -
give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain with a scale of
1:68 000; Free downloadable gps tracks - for the techies; Satnav
guidance to walk starts for motorists; 3 car tours and fold-out
touring map - for easy reference on your tour; Strolls to idyllic
picnic spots - enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along
the way; Timetables for public transport - ideal if you want to
link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday; Online update
service for the latest information; Includes plans of Arrecife,
Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Corralejo (Fuerteventura);
Whether you tour the region by car or explore on foot, we look
forward to showing you around.
This guidebook describes 44 routes and over 100 summits across the
Southern Uplands of Scotland, stretching south-west from Edinburgh
to the English border, including the Galloway and Pentland Hills.
The walks range between 2 and 18 miles, suitable for walkers of all
abilities. Highlights include Merrick and the Galloway Hills, Hart
Fell and the Devil's Beeftub, Cheviot and the Border Ridge,
Arthur's Seat and the River Tweed. Each route provides OS 1:50,000
mapping, information on distance, ascent, time, maximum altitude
and terrain, as well as details of any variants or shortcuts. With
notes on points of interest along the way as well as on transport
and accommodation, the guide gives all the information walkers
need. The Southern Uplands is a range that is about as big as the
Pennines. It is wild hill country, with over 80 hills of 2000ft or
more, and it boasts a real remoteness that is difficult to find
elsewhere. All hillwalkers should experience these wonderfully
characterful landscapes: green and gentle, but with hidden
surprises and remote escapes. The routes are suitable from spring
to autumn, and on winter days with good weather and snow
conditions.
