Richard Williamson’s weekly walking column has long been one of the most popular features in the Chichester Observer, Worthing Observer, and West Sussex Gazette. Now, following the format that has proved such a hit over the years, for the first time he has compiled his favorite walks one for every week of the year—with hand-drawn route maps. His knowledge and love of the timeless South Downs landscape and its varied flora, fauna, and stories—from bat-birds and the Devil's Jumps to beloved pubs and famous poets—combine with practical notes on routes that can be covered easily in an afternoon.
