Walks in the Footsteps of Cornish Writers

Walks in the Footsteps of Cornish Writers
by Sue Kittow

Circular Walks with Cornish Writers features 20 walks each associated with different writers connected to Cornwall. It is a fascinating insight into contemporary authors and their favourite walks as well as the places that were so special to those well-known writers who are no longer with us - and why they were so special.

Some writers, like John Betjeman, have made their favourite places famous through verse or novels. Others, like Philip Marsden, use regular walks as a valuable part of their writing day. From Derek Tangye s books based in Lamorna to the Reverend Stephen Hawker at Morwenstow, here are a variety of walks that inspired the authors, and it is hoped will inspire readers too.

Each walk has an introduction, a fact box with all essential information, and details of maps, refreshments, history, points of interest and clear directions.
