Buckinghamshire - A Dog Walker's Guidebook

by: Debbie Kendall
On a fine day there is nothing quite so enjoyable for dog owners than getting out into the countryside with their pet for a leisurely stroll. Once you get off your home patch, though, it is hard to know where you can walk safely with your dog and which pubs and cafes will welcome you both.

Here is a collection of 20 circular walks, varying in length between 1.5 and 5 miles in Buckinghamshire's beautiful countryside. They have been designed for maximum off-lead time and minimum exposure to roads. There are routes over wide open grassland and hills; through quiet valleys and ancient woodland; charming villages and delightful parkland; and beside rivers and streams.

All the walks include details of how to get to the start, distance and terrain, dog factors such as livestock and stiles, recommended dog-friendly refreshment stops, numbered route directions, coloured sketch maps, points of interest along the way and nearest veterinary practice. The book is illustrated with colour photographs.
