Books by Darren Flint

Suffolk has long been a place of retreat, somewhere to escape to, far from everyday life. It may have its busier town centres, but in the main Suffolk remains a rural area of enormous variety , from heather covered heathland to softly rolling hills, long shingle spits to genteel coastal enclaves and kiss-me-quick seaside resorts.

A hand-picked selection of 40 walks that reveals the sheer variety of landscapes that makes Galloway so special - from the Mull of Galloway, Scotland's most southerly point, to the sweeping Nith Estuary, via Merrick, South Scotland's highest hill and plenty of hidden corners.

The three Dumfriesshire dales of Nithsdale, Annandale and Eskdale are a rural playground of heatherclad hills, linns with tumbling waterfalls, babbling rivers and evershifting merse and firth.
