Walking Around Exeter

“More Walks in and Around Exeter – another collection of Walks for All” aims to build on that success with a further 10 walks devised by members of the group. The routes are varied and provide an excellent introduction to walking and to the beautiful countryside that surrounds the city. Two of them begin outside the front doors of Exeter Cathedral and take in points of interest in the city’s history. Most are circular routes, accessible by public transport and range in length from 3 miles to a little over 8 miles. The detailed walks descriptions are accompanied by simple sketch maps to assist readers to find their way around the routes with ease.

The A5 book is available, price £5.00 from a (growing) range of outlets:
• Royal Albert Memorial Museum Shop
• Exeter Cathedral Shop
• Hyde and Seek Gift Shop – Queen St/Paul St
• The Bookery – High Street, Crediton
