Walking in Sussex Cicerone Guidebook

by Kev Reynolds
This comprehensive guide is ideal for families and the rambler, describing 40 walks, including the High and Low Weald, Ashdown Forest and the South Downs. It includes routes that delve into a rural heartland, that follow streams and rivers, that trace the bank of hammer ponds and lakes, and those that follow the glistening sea on one side, flanked by sheep-grazed downland on the other.

There are clear accurate descriptions of the routes with OS Landranger 1:50000 scale mapping adjacent to the text. Practical information, colour illustrations and historical and cultural background are included. Each walk provides a sample of what the county has to offer and there's plenty of variety, not only in landscape terms, but historically and culturally too; each walk is a gem in its own right.
