Leicestershire Country Park Walks

by: Heather Macdermid
This book provides a detailed guide to short walks in 20 beautiful and varied country parks and nature reserves. Family friendly, each walk can be a short and easy stroll on well kept tracks and paths within the country park, but they can all be extended by using footpaths to and from nearby villages. Items of local and historical interest are described in introductions to each walk. There are numerous colour photographs throughout the book illustrating places visited.
