Walk books worth looking at....

In my immediate area we have found the following books useful:

Rambling for pleasure East Berkshire (3 editions), around Reading (2) and Along the Thames (1). Dedicated to the memory of Peter Nevill who was chairman of the East Berks Ramblers group. These books usually seen in newsagents and bookshops in the area contain ~ twenty walks between two and six miles long and usually circular in nature.

Teashop Walks by Jean Patefield. A series of walk books featuring that great British institution the tea shop. For many areas including Chilterns, Thames Valley, Cotwolds etc.

Pub Walks in the Chilterns by Alan Charles, again circular featuring some wonderful pubs in this area.

Pub Strolls in Berkshire, by Nick Channer he has also written Waterside walks in Berkshire, Village walks in Oxfordshire etc

More general books:

Jarold Pathfinder are available for most areas of the UK. Published in association with the Ordance survey map folks. Walks graded into difficulty again circular with good descriptions. Again seen in bookshops and Tourism shops over the UK.
