Jarrold Pathfinder 14 - Heart Of England Walks
ISBN: 0-7117-0570-4
Heart of England' conjures up an image of a largely unchanged, unspoilt rural landscape of farmland and woodland, with slowly meandering rivers, small market towns, old churches and thatched cottages. It is a landscape that inspired William Shakespeare and Edward Elgar and, despite creeping urban expansion, it still survives in many parts of the region.
The walks in this guide cover Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and the Worcestershire half of Hereford and Worcester. They vary from woodland walks through the forests of Wyre, Arden and Needwood, hill walks including Abberley Hill, Wenlock Edge, Kinver Edge, the Long Mynd and Clent Hills, and more leisurely walks passing attractive villages such as Bidford-on-Avon, Henley-in-Arden and Tanworth-in-Arden. Highlights include historic Kenilworth Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and 'Shakespeare Country', and Ironbridge Gorge with its monuments of the birth of the Industrial Revolution.
