This is an excellent book for those interested in nature walks along coast and countryside on the South Down Way. Full of useful maps as well as clear photographs this book will aid those on plannning walks along the path.
With sections on history, geology and wildlife of the Downs - this book covers many areas of interest.
There is even an interesting chapter on Charleston and the Bloomsbury Group in Sussex.
Would interest those planning a walk or local residents who would like to rediscover the South Downs Way.

The cover screams out me because I’ve walked that path to see The Seven Sisters (the chalked seaside cliffs). The only thing to make the photo better would be to see one of the sheep grazing as you walk the trail. South Downs Way is one of a series of books covering hiking and walking trails in parts of England. Britain has several National Trails that are maintained and marked crossing public and private lands. This book contains detailed information including colorful maps, photos and distances in miles and kilometers. It includes historical sites near the trials and gives information about flora and fauna and the geology. This one also has information if you are cycling or riding horses for on the paths. If I were planning to hike any of Britains Trail system this is the kind of step by step guidebook I would want in hand. It even gives suggestions for places to eat, sleep, refill water bottles or stop for tea and a scone. Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - White Lion for a temporary eARC in exchange for an honest review.
