Meander through pastures of meadowsweet, savour the smell of stone and earth, and delight in the beauty of Britain's landscapes with this new edition of The Times Britain's Best Walks.
More than just a basic guidebook, this is a meditation on our relationship with the landscape and a celebration of all that Britain has to offer.
From Cornwall to Shetland via Pembrokeshire and Barrowdale, this is the most comprehensive collection of walks in the United Kingdom available in one book, and features trails to suit all skill levels and references, whether you want a gentle ramble to the pub or something much more challenging.

Each of the featured walks contains:
* Detailed description as featured in The Times column

* Simple step-by-step walk instructions
* Beautiful colour photography
