Heart of England Hill Walks, John Newsom - The eighteen circular walks in this collection explore a variety of hills in the Heart of England - some well known, others that may be less familiar. They include the high open moorlands of Staffordshire, some of the more remote hills of Shropshire, parts of the ever-popular Cotswolds, the counties of Hereford & Worcester and Warwickshire including, naturally, the magnificent Malverns, as well as some more modest, but very scenic hilltops. The distances of the main walks vary from 10.5 miles to 14.5 miles. However, most include the option of a shorter walk and these range between 6 and 10 miles. ►Get this book for 10% discount off published price and free postage.

Warwickshire Walks to Wet Your Whistle, Roger Seedhouse - A collection of walks, all with good pubs, in Warwickshire - the centre of England and a county of great contrasts. Historic, bustling towns interspersed with pretty, quiet villages. A land of lakes and country parks which are a delight to behold, merging into the Northern Cotswolds with its buildings of honey-hued stone. This book will appeal to both more experienced walkers and, by the introduction of shorter alternatives, to casual walkers or those wishing to vary the length of their walk as mood or time constraints dictate. The main walks range in distance from 6.25 to 10.5 miles and have a pub conveniently located about half-way round. Shorter alternatives range from 3.25 to 6.5 miles and start and finish at the pub. The pubs vary in style and character but have generally been chosen to provide a watering hole in which the walker will feel welcome and comfortable, rather than for plush surroundings.

Practical information on the teashops and pubs including their opening times, regular menus and house specialities are also provided.
