This spectacular route offers a circular walk among secret countryside
that will make you forget you're within a few miles of Heathrow Airport,
the A13, or the suburban sprawl of Croydon, Watford or Dagenham. Here
is rolling downland near Coulsdon, the forest of Enfield Chase, the
lonely Thames marshes at Rainham, the classical parkland of Bushy Park
and a canalside stroll at Uxbridge. London could not seem further away.
Split into 15 sections that each represent a day's walk of reasonable
length, this walker's companion gives detailed descriptions of each
walk, including numerous points of interest and key sites numbered in
the text and on the maps for easy identification.
With
background information on everything from local history, architecture,
archaeology, industry, land-use and wildlife plus full information on
public transport access to the start and finish of each walk, this book
shows you how to escape the Big Smoke for the day – without going too
far!
