[Réka · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great selection of country walks in reach of London, especially for those who are new to hiking/walking or to the area. Despite its publishing date most of the information in this book is still accurate regarding stops on the way and public transport. I wish the maps were a bit more detailed, e.g. terrain-wise or displaying a few more points of orientation as I had to rely on the text more than I would have liked. I enjoyed the historical/geological fun facts, those could have been extended to a genera introduction to the area.
