Wade 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. Featuring a selection of 200 new routes – with a handful of classics – chosen by Christopher Somerville, who has travelled the length and breadth of the UK on foot and written about its landscape, wildlife and history for more than 30 years.


Each of the featured walks contains:


• Detailed description as featured in The Times column


• Postcode and OS grid reference start point


• Simple step-by-step walk instructions


• Beautiful colour photography


• Full colour, clear and up-to-date map


• Food recommendations for the hungry traveller


Featuring stunning photography and using Christopher’s trademark wit and lyricism, this is the perfect gift for ramblers anywhere.
