The New Forest is the largest area of lowland heath in Britain. The 30 walks described in this book cover a variety of terrain, from open heathland to ancient woodland. Where possible the walks are circular and start from a car park. They vary from short strolls to long hikes and are graded according to distance and difficulty, making it easy to select an appropriate route. The walks are illustrated with large-scale easy-to-follow maps and supported by simple step-by-step route instructions. The guide has been designed with the practical needs of the walker in mind. They are easy to carry and small enough to fit into a jacket pocket.
