Walking in the North Wessex Downs : 30 walks exploring the AONB Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Guidebook to 30 circular day walks in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The routes, which range from 4 to 13 miles long take in parts of four counties - Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. The walks allow you to explore parts of the Ridgeway National Trail, the Kennet and Avon Canal and stunning historic sites, such as Avebury, the 3000-year-old Uffington White Horse, impressive Neolithic long barrows and Iron Age hill forts.

The North Wessex Downs are accessible hills that rise above the towns and rural plains of southern England and roll gently west from Reading and Basingstoke to Swindon and down past Marlborough to Andover. Alongside detailed route descriptions and OS maps, are plenty of details on points of interest, as well as practical information on the area from public transport links, to ideal refreshment stops on each walk.

The result is an ideal companion to exploring both the popular and untouched corners of the North Wessex Downs.
