Customer Rating:      Summary: The best Christmas present I was ever given Comment: This really is the best present we ever had. There is a walk for every mood and every season- we did have to make a spreadsheet to sort the details about length, ease, travelling time to get there, saturdays/ Sundays Seasons when cafes and stately homes would be shut- but we are nerds like this. We have had a fabulous 2 years working our way through the walks, and we are going to rewalk our favourites.
It is a rare walk when we don't meet someone else using the book and raving over it. There are great views and sites of interest on every walk , both long and short- it is a few years since it was published , so you might want to phone ahead to check the pubs and inns are serving on the day you go. Numbers are given in the book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Disappointing Comment: Rough Guides have a very good reputation for their travel guides, however I did find this book of south east walks disappointing. Describing these walks as "the best walks within easy, reach of the Capital" is OTT. Although there are some good walks in here such as classic south downs walks plus Hastings cliff top walk. I guess the short Camden Lock to Little Venice canal walk is included so that the walks cover all abilities. If this is your wish then you would be better off getting a Pathfinder Guide, such as "Surrey and Sussex" with walks from 4 to 11 miles.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Beautiful walks in the south-east Comment: This handy, pocket-sized book is packed full of information on walks in the south-east, all accessible by public transport. There are walks for everybody, ranging from two-day hikes on the South Downs Way through to short but picturesque walks and rainy-day rambles ending at country pubs for lunch. Routes are clearly explained in detail: there's no getting lost, and the book is a must for all seasons.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The Rough Guide to Walks in London and South East England  Comment: FINALLY!!! An easy to follow, fun and informative book on London walks. And you don't have to have a car to do the walks as they are all accessible by public transport. With this little slimline gem I've discovered walks in inner London I had no idea existed.
Customer Rating:      Summary: From London to the Great Outdoors Comment: This is one of the best walking guides I have bought. It was a revelation to me to discover how many interesting walks there are in and around London - not somewhere I usually associate with walking. Very well written and well researched, it is full of useful information on how to get around, where to stop on the way and what to bring. It really made me want to get my walking boots on and get out.
