This new title from Jarrold Publishing is another in the classic Pathfinder Walks series, using Ordnance Survey mapping. As in all titles in the series, each walk is accompanied by colour mapping and clear directions, with full-colour photographs throughout. The 28 walks are graded according to length and accompanied by extensive information and advice for walkers. Essex possesses much fine and varied countryside, and its great expanses of lonely marshes, rolling farmlands, ancient woodlands, wide views and attractive villages more than compensate for a lack of dramatic hill country. There are also outstandingly attractive and distinctive villages and small towns with a wealth of historic buildings, as well as some of the finest surviving fragments of England’s medieval forests. Essex retains plenty of pleasant and unspoilt countryside, enhanced by attractive old towns, pretty villages and interesting historic monuments – a combination that makes for excellent walking.
