Description
The 25 Walks books are practical guides and attractive souvenirs. Written by experienced authors, they can be used with confidence. The carefully selected local walks are accompanied by easy-to-use maps and colour photographs. Ayrshire & Arran describes 25 walks in some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside. On Arran you can explore Machrie Moor or climb to the top of Goatfell, while in Ayrshire you can enjoy a stroll on the banks of the River Ayr or a walk that takes in a visit to Culzean Castle. A key point for the walker to note about Ayrshire and Arran is that both areas are extremely accessible. Transport links are so good that it is possible to leave Glasgow for Arran in the morning, walk the length of Holy Isle, and be back in Glasgow that evening. In the words of the author: 'there is something here for everyone, and I hope that you enjoy discovering these walks as much as I have.'
Reviews / Votes
'Superb small volumes. Glossy and colourful, they offer what are probably the best and most scenic walks for a day's or a few hours' rambling in these areas.' - Scottish World 'The layout of each walk is clear and concise, without lacking information; the illustrations complement the text well and there is an easy-to-follow 4-colour map to accompany each description.' - The Great OutdoorsMore details
