Walking in the Shropshire Hills Guidebook

authors: Dennis and Jan Kelsall
This nicely produced full colour guidebook describes twenty circular walks exploring the varied and unspoilt landscape of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether new to recreational walking or an old hand, these routes are a superb introduction to the Shropshire Hills. The walks vary from 2.5 to 8.5 miles in length. Some cross rolling farmland and leafy woodland, others traverse the open moors, including magnificent ridge walks with panoramic views.

Each walk has clear route directions and 1:25,000 scale Ordnance Survey mapping, with local information and points of historical or environmental interest along the way provided. Each walk entry begins with practical information including distance and time, terrain, start point with grid reference, OS Explorer map sheet number, refreshment option, and public transport details if available. The book is illustrated with numerous colour photographs and includes an introductory chapter.
