100 wonderful walks across Britain suitable for families with children
of any age, including stroller-friendly routes, mini mountains, tiny
safaris and circumnavigations of lakes. Adventure starts here!
Starting with a useful and informative introduction with advice on
making walks with kids successful and enjoyable (best clothing and
equipment, food and drink, the countryside code, and a light-hearted
troubleshooting guide for commonly-encountered problems), the book
divides the walks themselves by geographical area:
- England: south-west, south-east, central north-west, north-east
- Wales: south, central, north
- Scotland: borders and south, central, north and islands
Symbols will indicate easy parking, toilets, child-friendly cafes, baby
changing, dog-friendliness and buggy suitability. QR codes by each walk
will link to free online OS maps for those routes, so readers can read
the walk description and get the map up on their phone, then choose to
bring the book with them or not. With routes and themes such as mini
mountains, walks with paddles, beaches, woodland, wildlife,
circumnavigations of lakes, and walks from child-friendly cafes,
everyone in the family is guaranteed to enjoy themselves.
Each route is graded according to its relative difficulty but all will
be short to moderate in length, and very achievable for anyone with a
good level of fitness. As well as being themed, each walk will include
other points of interest along the way to keep the children engaged and
encourage the idea that spending time outdoors is enjoyable and fun.
Illustrated throughout with the authors' photography showcasing the
beauty of Britain, this will be an attractive and inspiring guidebook
for all families wanting to make the most of the great outdoors.
