The 50 Greatest Walks of the World

If we are to believe this book 34 of the 50 greatest walks in the world are in Britain and Ireland, more than double the total for the entire rest of the world. In comparison just two walks in the whole of Asia make the top 50, two in Australia, one in New Zealand and one in the whole of South America. As for Africa it manages...zero. Quite ridiculous.

I loved this book - while the title may be slightly misleading (not really the world), it has a great selection of UK walks which considering they are right on my doorstep I will probably do!
