Wandelgids Hillwalking London | Safe Haven

You buy hillwalking guides to the Peak District, don't you? Or the Black Mountains, or the Quantocks...? In any case, isn't Rome the city of Seven Hills, and San Francisco the location for the plunging downhill car chase in Bullitt?But London is also a city of hills: Highgate Hill, Herne Hill, Shooters Hill, Muswell Hill, Ludgate Hill - the place names alone denote the topography. But until now there hasn't been a walking guide to the capital that makes a point of seeking out and threading together all the capital's high ground, summits and fabulously panoramic views... Now, Hillwalking London provides ten routes, all round Greater London, of striking high-level walking, to make you see this amazing city in a new way. Here are the Seven Hills of Croydon; the Sewardstone Hills north of Chingford; the string of former telegraph stations stretching from New Cross Gate across to Forest Hill, as well as cherished ascents like Hampstead Heath, Greenwich Park and Richmond Hill. A Base Camp…

Wandelgids London's Hidden Rivers | Frances Lincoln

London has many rivers, but they are often hidden under centuries of development. Rivers like the Walbrook, the Fleet or the Westbourne have left their mark on the city, and still form an important part of our subterranean world. David Fathers traces the course of twelve hidden rivers in a series of detailed guided walks, illustrating the traces they have left and showing the ways they have shaped the city. Each walk starts at the tube or rail station nearest to the source of the river, and then follows it down to the Thames through parkland, suburbia, historic neighbourhoods and the vestiges of our industrial past. Along the way there are encounters with such extraordinary Londoners as William Blake, Judy Garland, Paul Robeson, Terence Donovan, Bradley Wiggins, Nelson, Lenin, Freud, and the great Victorian engineer Joseph Bazalgette. Hidden Rivers of London contains over 120 km of walks, both north and south of the Thames. Winding through the hills, valleys and marshes that under…

Pelgrimsroute - Wandelgids London to Walsingham Camino | Trailblazer Guides

Full colour, larger format Inspirational guide describing the 13 stages of the pilgrimage route from London to the shrines at Walsingham in Norfolk. The book follows a resurrected route which has now been given official recognition by the Confraternity of St James, better known for their organisation of the famous Camino de Santiago in Spain. That means any pilgrim who walks at least 25km of it, and gathers pilgrim stamps along the way, will be able to use that 25km towards the total of 100km that must be walked in order to get the official Passport/Credencial when they arrive at Santiago. In his foreword to this new guide, the Archbishop of York writes: "I have walked to Walsingham twice ... [and] ... I walked the Camino del Norte to Santiago. I am therefore delighted that the route from London to Walsingham is now better established and therefore more available for other pilgrims and also drawn into the network of pilgrimages under the umbrella of the Confraternity of Saint James.

Wandelgids Thames Path | Trailblazer Guides

This book follows the Thames Path National Trail from the river's source in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in London. Officially 184 miles (294km) in length (although the actual distance you walk will depend on a number of decisions you make en route), the path meanders, accompanied by its watery muse, through pristine and tranquil countryside, past historic sites and buildings, via pub, lock, weir, and the occasional scattering of waterfowl, to a city, once the fulcrum of an empire, and now the heart of modern day England. The river, responsible for the metropolis' very being, tells tales, inspires artists, accommodates swans, geese, and water voles, reflects the silhouettes of red kites and kingfishers, provides employment, entices adventure, and allows time for carefree pilgrims to procrastinate and think. Following its banks is a grand way to go for a ramble. The path begins, as the river does, in a meadow in the Cotswolds; its upper reaches lonely and wild, the meadows and…
