In 25 carefully planned walks, "Walks in the Country Near London"
reveals the myriad treasures that lie just beyond London's urban
sprawl. From easy rambles through apple orchards and lush pastures
in Kent to more exhilarating rambles along Sharpenhoe Clappers'
chalk escarpments in Bedfordshire, there is a walk here for
everyone. Full-colour photographs capture each area's refreshing
rural charms, while clear mapping pinpoints everything from
designated trails and stately homes to traditional pubs and cosy
tea rooms. With characteristic humour, Christopher Somerville
guides readers along hedged, grassy lanes, across open, airy
farmland and through some of the finest historic homes, castles and
churches that England has to offer. Along the way, he shares
fascinating tales about the characters who trod these same paths
throughout the centuries - from persecuted Catholic priests making
their way to safe houses under the cover of night, to such
celebrated figures as Anne Boleyn, John Bunyan, William Blake and
Benjamin Disraeli. With a wealth of interesting anecdotes and
intriguing information, this is the perfect guide for history buffs
and casual walkers alike.
