Walking Pages - Your Guide to Walking in the UK

Here is a very small selection of the new walking guides published recently. These have impressed us either with the quality of the writing, the choice of routes, or with exceptional layout and production quality. You will find these plus the many more new books at our online bookshop.

Western Valley Walks - and more
Published July 2010
This book by Ralph Collins contains ten walks in the Western Valley, an area north of Newport in South Wales. This is a landscape with a remarkable industrial heritage as well as great natural beauty. The book is astonishing in the detail of the background story woven into the walks, making each a fascinating and educational experience. There are well over 100 colour photographs plus Ordnance Survey maps of the routes.
The author has spent many years of his leisure time hill walking in South East Wales, and describes the area in this book with a passion. He has a sharp eye for detail of the landscape and topography. His outline descriptions of its geology are those of a keen amateur and he describes them clearly in layman's terms. He also has a very keen interest in local history along with industrial archaeology, and brings together many examples in this book. His purpose in the book is to share his pleasures and knowledge with the readers and encourage them to look deeper and closer at the countryside all around them.
