These features include churches, nonconformist chapels, castle sites, dykes,
tumuli and other prehistoric remains, Roman forts, a battlefield,
medieval houses, spas, upland farming systems, drovers’ roads, squatter
settlements, inns and a dismantled railway line. Several can only be
reached on foot.
They have also been chosen to help you explore
Radnorshire’s countryside (and occasionally spill over into that of its
neighbouring counties) and breathe its good air.
Some walks follow river valleys whilst many more wander its rolling
hills and provide expansive views. Others explore Radnorshire’s towns
and their nearby landscape.
The 26 circular walks range from 3.5 to 10.5 miles in length, with the
majority being between 4 and 7.5 miles. Each walk has a numbered
coloured sketch map and detailed navigation instructions, together with
boxed background information about features en route. A brief summary at
the beginning of each walk describes the terrain and features. The book
is illustrated with over 200 superb colour photographs and has a full
index.
The combination of photographs and text, together with
the index, make the book more than simply a book of walks, but also
a companion to and celebration of Radnorshire, an area we both love.
