This guidebook describes 32 varied day walks and one longer route in the Ardennes- an area which lies mostly in Belgium but extends into both Luxembourg and France- with easy access from the English Channel ports. Its an area of beech and oak-forested hills divided by deep- winding valleys with wide- shallow rivers. Medieval castles and fortified farmhouses abound- perched above the villages. The walking possibilities are endless- all without the large height gains that are a feature of routes in the European Alps. Relics and museums of the WW2 Battle of the Bulge abound- a bonus for military history enthusiasts. Given the huge variety of other entertainments including kayaking- cross-country biking- even just playing at the waters edge- its a great family destination. And theres the beer? This guide is illustrated with clear custom-made maps and contains lots of information about the vivid history of the area- as well as all the practical accommodation needed to plan a trip- including accommodation- food and drink and advice on when to go....
