Introduction
Ian Teece's guide to 20 walking routes exploring the countryside around Calais and Boulogne
Description Ian Teece’s book "20 walks for motorists near Calais and Boulogne" is exactly what it says on the cover. The circular walks are designed for motorists visiting the area via the Channel Tunnel or ferries from Dover and are all within easy driving distance of Calais or Boulogne. Ranging from 3 to 16 kilometres in length, they will take you into the exhilarating countryside of this beautiful part of France that is so often overlooked by people simply passing through. The walks vary from gentle strolls to energetic hikes and a comprehensive ratings guide is given for each walk. The texts describing the walks are clear and precise while the photo-directions at each decision point make it almost impossible to go wrong. For GPS users waypoints are provided for input to your receiver by hand and these are available on Discovery Walking Guides Personal Navigator Files CD ver 5.01 for direct upload, along with trackpoints. For each walk Ian has given driving directions to the parking location of the start point, a brief history of the area along with advice on where to eat and drink before or after each walk, all based on personal experience. The maps are clear and understandable and will guide you around the walks when used in conjunction with the text and pictures and the IGN maps recommended. Suggestions are made for other things to do in the various localities, such as interesting museums and nearby attractions to visit. This book is a must for all walkers who want to visit this part of the Pas-de-Calais to enjoy its stunning cliff-top views over the English Channel, peaceful forests and picturesque rural scenery.
