Bristolians are blessed with beautiful countryside on their doorstep. Deep-cut coombes, hidden valleys, woodlands, uplands and stately landscapes are within easy reach of the weary and the restless. A little further, and you're on the ups and downs of the Mendip Hills, the deceptively tough topography of the Cotswolds and the glowering skies of the Somerset Levels and Severn Estuary; the peace and poetic beauty of the Wye Valley is a short hop away. And everywhere people have made their mark: in pre-historic forts, Roman leadwork, grand houses, busy farms,time worn churches, monuments, villages and their pubs, and even a mock airfield to fool enemy bombers.

In Beyond Bristol, Robin Tetlow has condensed 30 years of exploring the country around his adoptive city to create 24 easy-to-follow walks. All are circular, all are within 30 miles or one hour's drive from Bristol and some are much closer. The shortest is 6 miles and the longest 11 miles. Some are easier than others, some are demanding and there is something for all weathers, all moods and a modest measure of fitness.

Each walk is described with distances and estimated times, detailed directions and a map, and advice on refreshment stops. So whatever the weather, pull on your boots, pop this book in your pocket and get walking. You'll feel better, look better and grow fitter and stronger.
