Christopher Somerville's 100 Best Walks

By Christopher Somerville

Christopher Somerville has been walking, exploring and writing all over the world for 30 years, and as the Walking Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. This is his selection of his 100 favourite walks. Read individually, they are a true traveller's observations of people, places, moods and reflections as they strike him. As a collection, they take the reader on a vivid, moving and unforgettable adventure through Britain, from the A of Angus Glens to not quite Z but at least Y of York City Walls.

'One day, people will look back on (Somerville's) body of work and think: 'Here's somebody that defined what recreational walking was like at the turn of the millenium'

Nicholas Crane, Coast presenter, explorer and author.
