Description
The London LOOP Recreational Path Guide by Colin Saunders is a comprehensive guide for walkers looking for a challenge and a chance to escape the city. This circular route follows a green corridor around the capital, taking you on a journey through secret countryside that belies its proximity to London's outskirts. The guide is split into 15 sections, each representing a day's walk of reasonable length, with detailed descriptions of each route, including points of interest and key sites. You'll discover rolling downland near Coulsdon, the forest of Enfield Chase, and the lonely Thames marshes at Rainham, among other hidden gems. With full information on public transport access to each walk, you can easily plan your escape from the city. This practical guide provides a wealth of background information on local history, architecture, archaeology, industry, land-use, and wildlife, making it an ideal companion for walkers looking to explore the London LOOP.
