An omnibus of local walks covering the whole of Somerset and Avon. It includes the Mendip Hills, the Quantock Hills and part of Exmoor. The book is ideal for family outings and as a valuable reference book for residents wanting to explore their counties in the best possible way - on foot. It is, of course, equally valuable for visitors to the region. The wide choice of routes are spread fairly evenly across the whole area so no matter where you find yourself, a walk in this book will not be far away.

The walks vary in length from 3 to 12 miles, the majority being in the 4/6 mile range. They are listed in the contents by length, making it easy to find routes that suit your circumstances. In addition to the route descriptions, details are given of points of interest along the way, places to eat and drink and where to park the car. Sketch maps and route descriptions are on facing pages.
