Publisher's Synopsis
An illustrated city walking guide like no other. Whether you're a city-dweller who wants to explore your home turf, or a keen country walker who likes the idea of trying something different, or a discerning weekend breaker who wants to get under the skin of a city in a day or two, Urban Rambles is the book to inspire you to get out and explore your nearest city on foot.
Each of these 20 walks includes:
Choose from cathedral cities like York and Lincoln, seats of learning like Cambridge and Oxford, trading ports like Bristol and Liverpool, cities designed for pleasure like Brighton and Bath. Choose to visit Victorian industrial cities Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham, and of course the nation's capital, where a new 25-mile circular route takes you from urban regeneration through the Olympic Park and past rivers, parks and palaces.
Each of these 20 walks includes:
- a GPS enabled map configured for your mobile device
- specially commissioned illustrations of the route and walk data
- inspiring photographs of the things you will see along the way
- information on green spaces and architectural gems
- recommended cafes, pubs and independent shops
