The Welsh Marches

40 Town and Country Walks

Ben Giles

Where the lowlands of England meet the hills of Wales, the Welsh Marches of Shropshire and Herefordshire have long been true border country. With a long and fascinating history, there are wooded river valleys, ruined castles, moorland uplands and ancient market towns, making this the perfect walking country for those who prefer a gentler pace and time to explore along the way.

This book features 40 circular walks, with many ideal for families, in the heart of the Welsh Marches, taking in the hills of Shropshire, Mortimer and Clun Forests, and the rolling countryside of the Herefordshire Plain all the way to the slopes of the Black Mountains near the border town of Hay-on-Wye.
