Walks for Each Season Second Edition : 26 great days out in the countryside near London

Walks for Each Season (Second Edition) by Julia Smith is a full-colour illustrated guidebook to twenty-six countryside walks within easy reach of London, each one chosen to showcase a particular seasonal highlight.

Every route starts and finishes at a station accessible from the capital, and is matched to the time of year, from wood anemones at Eridge in spring to apple blossom near Canterbury, so ramblers can plan a day out around what will actually be in flower or in season.

Each walk comes with clear route directions, Ordnance Survey mapping, background and historical context, and practical transport information for getting there and back by public transport.

It is aimed at London-based walkers looking for well-researched, easy-to-follow day trips into the surrounding countryside throughout the year.
