Publisher Description:

100 wonderful walks across Britain suitable for families with children of any age, including stroller-friendly routes, mini mountains, tiny safaris and circumnavigations of lakes. Adventure starts here

Starting with a useful and informative introduction with advice on making walks with kids successful and enjoyable (best clothing and equipment, food and drink, the countryside code, and a light-hearted troubleshooting guide for commonly-encountered problems), the book divides the walks themselves by geographical area:

- England: south-west, south-east, central north-west, north-east
- Wales: south, central, north
- Scotland: borders and south, central, north and islands

Symbols will indicate easy parking, toilets, child-friendly cafes, baby changing, dog-friendliness and buggy suitability. QR codes by each walk will link to free online OS maps for those routes, so readers can read the walk description and get the map up on their phone, then choose to bring the book with them or not. With routes and themes such as mini mountains, walks with paddles, beaches, woodland, wildlife, circumnavigations of lakes, and walks from child-friendly cafes, everyone in the family is guaranteed to enjoy themselves.

Each route is graded according to its relative difficulty but all will be short to moderate in length, and very achievable for anyone with a good level of fitness. As well as being themed, each walk will include other points of interest along the way to keep the children engaged and encourage the idea that spending time outdoors is enjoyable and fun.

Illustrated throughout with the authors' photography showcasing the beauty of Britain, this will be an attractive and inspiring guidebook for all families wanting to make the most of the great outdoors.
