Synopsis

This guide covers the Cornish Hills, Quantocks, Exmoor, Blackdown Hills, Wessex Downs, Isle of Wight, North and South Downs, Weald, Chilterns, and Cotswolds. It describes ascents of each of the distinct summits across Southern England that are below 2,000 feet in altitude. Illustrated and with route maps, it takes the walker to iron-age hill forts, rough rock tors, and dominating scarp-edge summits. From cliff-top strolls and the exploration of hidden woodland combes to rough moorland walks, the routes included cater for all interests and abilities. It is divided into five sections, each beginning with an explanation of the area's geology to enhance walkers' understanding of the landscape they are exploring. Complete with an introduction and advice on footpaths and rights of way, plus tips on hill safety and conditions for both the novice and experienced walker alike, it provides information on the hill names, details of local accommodation, and a list of contacts.
