They are by a long way the best walk books I have ever used”. (Stephen Chalke 26/10/25)
“A moment for Robin Tetlow’s @beyondbristolwalks. I am incapable of following directions and enter a full daydream when an OS map is cracked open, but these books are so well written and put together and have helped me discover excellent new corners of the South West over the last five years or so …. they’re completely idiot-proof!” (freyaparrwrites, Instagram, 30/07/25)
