London Adventure Walks for Families Reviews

'We love this new book ... it is filled with ideas for keeping children amused' - Daily Express 'A walking scheme so wily it should get even the most lumpen child off its sulky bottom' - Daily Telegraph 'It's day-tripping season - but where to go? Becky Jones and Clare Lewis have done all the hard work for you. This great pocket-size book doesn't just point you in the direction; it's packed with ideas for pit stops, activities to enjoy while you're out and about and story tapes to take along for the journey.' - Time Out 'An absolute treasure trove for parents and children. Not just great walks, but songs, food, fascinating facts and fun things to do.' Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood Created to provide a fun, essentially free day out for all the family.
