Kent and Sussex Battlefield Walks, Rupert Matthews - As the closest areas of
England to the continent, Kent and Sussex have been a route favoured by
invaders. The Romans came this way, as did the English, the Normans and the
French. But the area has also seen its share of civil strife, in medieval
baronial conflicts, the Wars of the Roses and Tudor religious uprisings.
Rupert Matthews, 'the History Man', presents fifteen guided walks around the
battlefields of Kent and Sussex. He provides an account of events as they
unfolded on the ground along with full background and context. His
expertise, descriptive powers and lively enthusiasm bring the drama of
history vividly to life. Published April 08.

Walks Through Historic Sandwich, Helen Clarke - This attractive booklet is a guide to two walks around the historic town of Sandwich, once one of the great ports of medieval England. As a Cinque port, it served successive monarchs as a military and naval base for their overseas expeditions and
its trading activities extended far and wide. The town still displays signs of those prosperous centuries: an unchanged street plan, a virtually intact circuit of town walls and an exceptionally large number of well-preserved medieval houses. Two walks, clearly described with maps and copious photos, unlock the features of this fascinating town. The first is a walk through the historic streets to the heart of Sandwich, describing buildings of
architectural note and points of historical interest. The second is a walk around the town walls taking in ramparts and fortifications, with views of the surrounding countryside. Published July 11.

from the elements. Each of the walks are carefully selected to suit all
levels of fitness and ability and clear route directions and maps make
them easy-to-follow. The small and handy size means that the box can be
stowed away in a pocket or handbag and single cards extracted at each walk
start point. Published October 09.

Finding My Place: Seven Long Distance Walks in Kent and East Sussex, Brian Rance - Finding My Place is more than just a guide book to Kent and parts of East Sussex; it is also a companion guide to the places visited on seven marathon walks. It is a celebration of the geography, geology and landscape, the flora and fauna, the history, people and places of this part of southern England. A 'Kentish Man', the author writes passionately about the area, including his own experiences from childhood, rediscovering the land as he walks, with references to poetry, music, art and literature. This book relates the author's experiences of walking throughout Kent and parts of East Sussex, from the London suburbs to the North Kent and Channel coasts, accompanied by painful feet and many a pint in local pubs on the way. Spread throughout the book are 85 illustrative plates to supplement the narrative: including route maps, in-depth historical information, points of interest and notable landmarks, countryside regulations and descriptive wildlife profiles, and a selection of the author's own 'place' poems. The text is also accompanied by a generous sprinkling of illustrations depicting some of the author's encounters. This is a special, different kind of walking book, not only in terms of its scope and detail, but also because of the hundreds of miles walked by the author in 'finding his place'.
