Walking in Purbeck

Walkers have long been enjoying the beautiful countryside of The Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. The Jurassic Coast here has been recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage site for its geological importance, while the whole of the Isle of Purbeck has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (a 'national landscape').

This book provides an ideal way to get to know the Purbeck area, with detailed information on fifteen walks suitable for families and ramblers alike. There are circular walks on the coast, along the Purbeck Hills ridgeway, and on the beautiful Purbeck heathland, now recognised for its environmental importance.

The book was fully revised for the current fourth edition. Full colour OS maps. Published by Dovecote Press.
