Capital Ring: Recreational Path Guide - Softcover

Encircling inner London, The Capital Ring incorporates 75 miles of footpaths through the capital’s parks, woodlands, and nature reserves.

It contains: precise route descriptions, with points of interest for each stage of the path; specially prepared Ordnance Survey maps; information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, and architecture; details on bus and train access to and from each walk; and a wealth of color photos.
