In Walking on the Lizard, the author picks his favourite walks in this special area of Cornwall. These walks have been chosen to reflect the nature of the district, taking walkers to the most beautiful places and the most interesting. The book gives plenty of information about the route for each walk, and the author shares his knowledge of the natural history that can be seen, as well as giving information about the history and geology along the way. The walks are varied in length; all offer suitable places to sit and relax over lunch, whether at an inn, a cafe, or simply a seat with a view.
