Around Birmingham is one of 20 titles in the new Philip's Cycle
Tours series. The series is directly derived from the highly
successful Ordnance Survey Cycle Tours series, but has been updated
and improved, with a new focus on the needs of cyclists and the
cycling market in the 21st century.Each book in the series contains
20 routes, both on-road and off-road, taking you along low-traffic
or traffic free roads, tracks and paths. The route takes you
through some of the most beautiful countryside and prettiest
villages in Britain, and past some of the finest and most
interesting houses, churches, castles, gardens and monuments in the
land.Around Birmingham provides a rich variety of rides in the
heart of England. Rides pass through the open country of the Tame
Valley, the uplands of Warwickshire, the former Forest of Arden,
undulating west Leicestershire, the Lickey and Clent hills, and the
heath and woodland of Shropshire and Staffordshire.A unique feature
of Philip's Cycle Tours is the superb Ordnance Survey 1:50,000
mapping showing the routes of the rides. This mapping not only
gives the detail and clarity you need to follow the route with ease
and safety, but allows you to plan short-cuts and detours, to look
out for new places of interest, and to become truly involved in the
lansdcape you are cycling through. The mapping now shows National
Cycle Network routes and National Long-Distance Footpaths.Clear
directions are given alongside the mapping, and cross-profile
diagrams make planning the pacing of each ride an easy task, even
for the beginner. Extra information includes an introduction to the
area of the route, nearest railway stations, places of interest
with descriptions, guides to refreshment stops, and clear
indications of distance, grade and terrain.The books are
beautifully and practically designed, with colour photographs
throughout the ultra-clear layout.Main map scale: 1:50,000
