Landscapes of the Costa Brava Price: £12.99 Quantity:   'The Costa Brava - literally the 'rugged coast', in reference to the rocky, inhospitable nature of much of the shore - runs from the French border southwards towards Barcelona. Behind the coast lie the Serralada Litoral and Serralada Prelitoral. These ranges include such varied landscapes as the extraordinary conglomerate pinnacles of Montserrat, the dormant volcanoes of the Garrotxa and the subalpine heights of the Montseny. It is this very variety, coupled with its proximity to Barcelona and the coastal towns, that makes the hinterland of the Costa Brava so attractive to walkers Return to full description

Landscapes of Croatia Price: £12.99 Quantity:   From the northernmost shores of the Kvarner Gulf, southwards all the way to Dubrovnik, this guide covers Croatia’s Adriatic coast, eleven of the myriad islands and two inland areas. It includes the Mljet, Plitvice Lakes, Krka and Paklenica national parks and Biokovo and Ucka nature parks, and mentions five of Croatia’s six World Heritage sites. Happily, these bald though impressive facts describe one of the most beautiful and beguiling countries in Europe. Contrasts and diversity sum up Croatia: tall forests, wind-combed prickly thornbush and juniper on the stony uplands, the miraculous waterfalls in the Plitvice Lakes and Krka national parks, the aridity of the karst landscapes, modern tourist resorts and timeless old villages, the deserted Krajina region and the intensively cultivated Neretva delta Return to full description

Landscapes of Fuerteventura Price: £12.99 Quantity:   Fuerteventura is different from all the other islands in the Canaries. Being the closest to Africa, there's a definite taste of the Sahara about it. The countryside is lonely but warm, bleak but friendly and, in its own way, beautiful. Beaches are what Fuerteventura is all about; mile upon mile of untouched golden sand, great billowing white sand dunes, foaming surf, and quiet turquoise coves. Even though the landscape changes little, it's pleasant to tour Fuerteventura by car, since there's little traffic. This updated third edition is an ideal introduction to the island.

Landscapes of Gran Canaria Price: £12.99 Quantity:   Gran Canaria - a wealth of diverse landscapes and a wonderland of curious flora await the visitor to this island, in our opinion the most underrated of the Canaries amongst countryside enthusiasts. This new edition updates both the text and the maps to bring the book totally up to date at this moment in time. Return to full description

Landscapes of Ibiza and Formentera Price: £12.99 Quantity:   Until the sixties, Ibiza belonged to the Ibizans, and only a few artists, poets and writers lived in this paradise. Then the flower-children arrived, the hippies and drop-outs. In the last 30 years however, mass tourism has taken over and unfortunately destroyed much of the charm of Ibiza and Formentera. But not everything on the islands has been spoiled. ‘Bed and burgerbar’ building has reached saturation point, and a visit to the pine islands’ (the ‘Pityussae’, as the Greeks called them) is still worthwhile today. There’s an unending wealth of hidden beauty spots to be discovered, and this new edition of the book helps you to find the best of Ibiza and Formentera, whether you travel by car, bicycle, or on foot.

Landscapes of Ireland Price: £12.99 Quantity:   Including walks in the Irish Republic and in Northern Ireland, this countryside guide focuses on the mountainous coastal regions. Ireland is a country of unmatchable landscapes that never fail to give you a satisfying sense of discovery ­ from the magnificently wooded Killarney lakeland to the stark moonscapes of the Burren, from the sheer cliffs, exposed headlands and sand-fringed coves of the indented west coast to the wild misty hills in Donegal, from the dazzling Giant's Causeway to secluded loughs hidden in turf-laden mountains.Steeped in legend and history, Ireland has cairns, stone circles, standing stones, ring-forts and countless burial sites, all testifying to diverse Neolithic cultures. These exciting archaeological finds will be special attractions on all your excursions. Return to full description

Landscapes of the Italian Lakes Price: £12.99 Quantity:   The Italian Lakes have long been a 'must' for holidaymakers, inspired by their dramatic beauty. These great expanses of water, bound to the north by high mountains and stretching down towards the Lombardy Plain, all resulted from glacial activity. This has created distinctive 'micro' landscapes, whereby each lake retains its own character and special aura. While the term 'Italian Lakes' generally refers to Maggiore, Lugano, Como and Garda, there are many other, smaller lakes, some of which we have included on our tours and walks. Return to full description

Landscapes of Jersey Price: £7.99 Quantity:   Jersey has a coastline with its share of steep paths and endless steps. Away from the coast, however, there is slightly more variety in the landscape, and walking is relaxed and easy, mainly along quiet lanes and country paths. Geoff Daniel has the happy knack of finding sights and places to stir the imagination ­ from the Pinnacle (one-time scene of pagan rituals) to the eerie towering concrete relics of the island's occupation by Germany during World War II. As with the previous edition, this new 4th edition has been thoroughly checked and revised by Sue Hardy, a resident of Jersey. Sue leads groups of walkers throughout the year and devised the walk around St Lawrence incorporating the Millennium Path which was created in the year 2000. Whether you're a first-time or a regular visitor, you'll enjoy exploring places you might never come across without the aid of this guide. Return to full description
