Bristol is a city of contrasts, with many stories to tell, yet its treasures are often hidden. The eight walks in this book explore its spectacular Georgian terraces and narrow medieval streets, feats of engineering and groundbreaking street art, parks and wilder green spaces, as well as the waterways that thread through the city's centre.

Walking Oxford tells the story of the city, its people and places in eight surprising walks. Readers will explore many of the colleges and majestic University buildings, but also look beyond the famous dreaming spires to uncover a diverse story of millstreams and medieval lanes, breweries and jam factories, social housing and grand suburbs.

London's streets are full of all kinds of strange objects from buildings to street furniture that seem out of place or simply inexplicable. This book explores the stories that lie behind the most interesting of these 'oddities' with colour photographs and area maps and in so doing reveals an unexpected and surprising history of the capital.
