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 twenty 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.

and mention in my books.
