50 Walks in Warwickshire & West Midlands Guidebook

by: Andrew Noyce
The sparkle of early morning sunlight on a country river as it meanders through beautiful countryside; the reflection of sailing boats on a country lake; relaxing with a pint in the garden of an old English pub in a picturesque village; the sight of colourful narrow boats making their way through a flight of lock gates; the visual impact created by an historic castle. These are a few of the experiences that can be enjoyed in Warwickshire. There may be few seriously high hills in this fertile plain, but it is an area full of attractive walking in rolling countryside blessed with a fascinating history and many wonderful places and buildings to visit.

This guide explores the best of the Warwickshire and the West Midlands countryside, allowing you to experience its delights. It includes 50 themed walks of between 2 and 10 miles, each with fascinating background reading. There are clear, easy-to-follow route descriptions, including detailed coloured sketch maps, for every walk. Information on what to look out for during the walk and places to eat and drink is provided, including guidance for dog owners on where to walk and dog-friendly establishments. The book includes some colour photographs and useful practical information.
