'For those with young whippersnappers in need of half term escapades, a new London map with child-friendly advice would be a good investment. The Adventure Walks London Map sets out the best museums, city farms, sweet shops, ice cream parlours and other diversions to keep your kid (and hopefully you) entertained'  The Londonist.com

Adventure Walks for Families Series Reviews


'Clare Lewis and Becky Jones are every parent’s dream – their books are full of good ideas and commonsense advice about memorable days out with kids. The best thing is that, as you get to know them through their books, you also know that you can trust these two absolutely to deliver something fun, entertaining, educational and achievable, a rare combination.' 
Peter Stanford

"This little book could open the door to adventure, make history come alive and excite the vital curiosity and imagination of today's TV-obsessed children."

'This is exactly the sort of book that I would have loved to have when growing up in London. I am delighted to be able to use it with my own children, and discover parts of the capital that I never knew existed.'
 Families Magazine
'A walking scheme so wily that it should get even the most lumpen child of its sulky bottom.'
 Daily Telegraph

'It's day-tripping season - but where to go? Becky Jones and Clare Lewis have done all the hard work for you, bar packing the picnic. This great pocket-size book doesn't just point you in the direction; it's packed with ideas for pit stops, activities to enjoy while you're out and about and story tapes to take along for the journey.' 
Time Out

'We love this new book… it is filled with ideas for keeping children amused.'

'I love this pocket sized book and think it is a great way of packaging 'the family walk'. The authors have injected good old-fashioned fun and adventure into all of their suggested walks.' 
Families Magazine

'There should be such a little book of wonders for every major city in the land - a godsend for parents battling to get the Wellingtons on a pair of crossly kicking little feet as the familiar mantra trickles out tearfully once more: "I - hate - walking! It's - BOR - ing!" Not no more, it ain't.'
WALK Magazine


'It's an absolute treasure trove for parents and children. Not just great walks, but songs, food, fascinating facts and fun things to do.'
Camden New Journal
