Country Walks - Jennifer Ward - Bog

This is a collection of walks in England and Wales for those who enjoy historical sights but who also want to experience the surrounding beautiful countryside. The walks start from some of the most visited historical and interesting sites, such as castles, abbey ruins, stately homes, cathedrals, and ancient monuments. These are not town walks, although many routes begin in towns--most of them go through fields, woods, farms, or marshland, often on muddy paths, sometimes over hills and sometimes beside rivers. The walks vary in length from roughly two to eight miles, averaging about five. The book includes detailed route descriptions and sketch maps.
