Capital Ring: Recreational Path Guide: 78 miles of green corridor encircling inner London (Trail Guides) - Softcover

Colin Saunders is a member of the London Walking Forum, which first conceived two London orbital walking routes, and is the author of Aurum's guide on The Capital Ring, as well as of the new guide to The North Downs Way. He lives in North London.

Encircling inner London, The Capital Ring incorporates 75 miles of footpaths through the capital’s parks, woodlands, and nature reserves. The route takes in some of London’s finest attractions, including the Thames Barrier, Eltham Palace, and Richmond Park, as well as many little–known treasures. Divided into 15 short, manageable routes, each starting and finishing at a public transportation point, this official guide to The Capital Ring is ideal for even the most inexperienced walkers. 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.
