If you are interested in walks in the countryside within an hour by train from London, with a pub at lunchtime and a tea place in the afternoon, see the Time Out Book of Country Walks also by the late Nicholas Albery (obituaries of Nicholas can be read at The Times and at The Independent and at The Guardian and at The Telegraph).
