Sherwood Forest and the East Midlands Walks Pathfinder Guidebook

Sherwood Forest and the East Midlands Walks Pathfinder Guidebook

Revised by: Dennis and Jan Kelsall
This Pathfinder guidebook provides 175 miles of excellent walking in the gentle countryside of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire. Legendary outlaws and the ancient Major Oak feature of Sherwood, with more woodland walks in Rockingham and Charnwood Forests. Enjoy views across Rutland Water and Vale of Belvoir, battlefield heritage at Bosworth, Exquisite parkland at Clumber and Fawsley, and riverside strolls by the Trent and Nene.

Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale maps and specially commissioned photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations.

The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Each walk entry begins with a box giving start, distance, height gain, time, parking and route terrain. This is followed by a short overview highlighting the routes features. The main route finding instructions have paragraphs numbered corresponding to numbers on the OS map making navigation safe and easy. There are GPS references for all the route waypoints and the route is highlighted in yellow on the map. The guide also includes information on where to park, good pubs and places of interest along the route.
