I have had a good look through this one, and there are what looks to be some very interesting walks that I'm looking forward to trying out. As this is produced by The National Trust, they are centred around NT propeties. There is only one in my vacinity, Woodchester Park, which I have frequently walked around because my brother lives near by, but we always enter from the far end, and there are featured in this walk we didn't know about.

This will be a great book to take on holiday to explore the area. Always nice to visit NT properties further afield.

My one complaint with this sort of book is always that, because it covers the whole of the UK, it inevitably means there are very few close to where I live. However if you are the sort of person who likes to take frequent weekends away across the country, this is a great book with a good variety of walks, and it is always more fun to have a landmark or interesting site to aim for. I haven't tried any of these walks myself following the book but they seem to be well described with a lot of information about how to reach the start of the walk, and about what you can expect to see at different times of year, which I thought was a nice touch. Most of the walks cross National Trust properties so it's probably best for people who are either members already or who intend to become one.

These walks are not as secret as they would have you believe. If you are new to walking and not National trust member it might inspire you to join.

Really enjoyed the book and am looking at trying some of the walks in the future. Disappointed that there were no walks in Berkshire, although that may be more of a reflection on Berkshire! As a southerner, some of the walks were already familiar, such as the walk along the River Wandle and Merton, and Box Hill. Both worth doing though as they are incredible places to visit.

I appreciated the layout of each walk, with directions, the local history, and accessibility clearly described. I must say though that having read this online, I would rather have a printed version of the book whilst out hiking as it would be easier to refer to.

I would love for this series to be expanded on with even more hidden walks and beauty spots.

A great resource for those looking to get somewhat off the beaten track but who are not aiming to undergo long hike or more extreme trails. The walks are of manageable length and difficulty.and are enticingly presented, encouraging the reader to put the book down and get out and explore.

Lots of new places for secret walks. I was disappointed there weren't many in my area. We will be trying out one or two of these when we go away later on in the year. Good for those who want something different and are willing to travel.

As a new member of the National Trust, this is book is a valuable resource! I love the fact that each walk is accompanied by highlights for each season. The instructions are clear, and there are plenty of photographs included.

Recommended to NT members looking for walks to enjoy!

Books by the National Trust are always produced to a very high standard and this is no exception. It includes a great range of walks all over the country and is beautifully laid out with maps, illustrations and very detailed instructions for the walks themselves. It’s lovely to see a selection of walks that are a little off the beaten track and would be perfect to take on holiday to find somewhere that you wouldn’t otherwise come across. I’ll certainly be using it to find new places to visit.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.
