Guide
Books for Walkers in Southern England
Hello, I’m Anne –Marie Edwards. Welcome to my walking
website!
I live near the south coast, in Hampshire’s beautiful
New Forest and for the last forty years
I have walked and written guide books about some of England’s
loveliest countryside.
Walk with me in the footsteps of William Shakespeare, Jane
Austen and Thomas Hardy.
Visit the great country houses mentioned in the books. See the places
that inspired their great works.
Use these walks books to help you explore the coasts and villages
of Hampshire,
Dorset, the New Forest and Somerset.
Have a meal in the local pub and then take a circular walk using
my books as a guide.
Leave
the well-trodden ways and follow footpaths winding through the
countryside to
magnificent viewpoints. Walking the tranquil paths through woods
full of birdsong and
stroll along leafy lanes to rural villages that seem untouched
by time.
Everywhere there is a fascinating story to tell. My husband Mike
accompanies me
taking the photographs and performing wonders with map and compass!
Originally
I broadcast most of these walks on the BBC. I am a member of
the Ramblers
Association and the Backpackers
Club. I am also a member
of The
British Shakespeare Association and the Jane
Austen Society. I have
acted as a guide for many organisations and I am still available
to
accompany selected tours - especially literary ones.
