Walking in Kent describes 40 circular day walks in the Garden of England selected by Kev Reynolds. This guidebook includes the best routes from the previous two volumes (now out of print), as well as recently discovered routes in all corners of the county. There's plenty to appeal to both family strollers and determined ramblers, and each route has been rewalked by the author and carefully revised. Come walking in Kent and you'll discover some of Britain's finest non-mountain landscapes, as well as hidden architectural treasures and historic villages. But best of all, there is the surprise of long unhindered views and big skies over Kent, where Britain begins. The guide includes: 40 walks, with variations; easy-to-follow route descriptions; OS map extracts; background information; and full colour illustrations.
