Time Out Country Walks near London volume 2
The Walks
The Time Out Book of Country Walks near London Volume 2 contains 30 walks. The walks:
- start and finish at train stations in Southeast England, about an hour or so from central London.
- stop at a country pub for lunch and at a tea room (or pub) for tea
- are between 5 and 14 miles in length, and are graded for toughness
- pass gardens, churches, castles, and country houses
- contain a map and detailed walking instructions. No other maps required.
- new for volume 2: most walks are car friendly and many have options to shorten or lengthen the walk.
Sorry, for copyright reasons, the instructions aren't online for any of the walks - you'll need to buy the book. Before doing a walk, check here for updates and new route options. Afterwards, we welcome your feedback.
