Weekend Walks London

More than 10 million people pound the pavements of England’s two-millennia-old capital most days, but zoom out from the gritty city streetscape a little and London looks leafier and more verdant than many visitors and inhabitants realise. Boasting 3000 public parks – ranging from big breathing spaces to secret little oases – London is one of Europe’s greenest major cities.

This guide seeks out the serener side of the original Big Smoke. All set within the M25, these 30 routes ramble across commons, greens, parks, hills and heaths, and wander along waterways and through woods, meeting London’s lively wildlife and unearthing endless surprises along the way.

With more than 400 miles of mainland coastline and an excellent public path network, Cornwall is all about rugged shorelines, vast sandy beaches, turquoise waters, meandering rivers and wide open countryside. Add to the mix a fantastic diversity of flora and fauna, interesting geology, fascinating history and some of the most striking views in the country and you have one of England’s best regions to explore on foot.

In these 40 walks Keith Fergus leads you on some of the finest days out Cornwall has to offer. Although some of the walks are over hilly terrain, most are on well-established paths making navigation straightforward.
