Often compared to the English Lake District, the Berkshires abound with country lanes, scenic vistas, and forest trails for hikers and strollers of all abilities. A region famed not only for natural beauty but also for culture, the Berkshires also offer theater, music, museums, historic homes, and scores of country inns, B&Bs, and restaurants. This newly revised and updated edition includes 12 new hikes and walks to discover in addition to:
  • 56 hikes or walks, with variations
  • 38 maps, with illustrated landmarks and USGS topographic relief
  • Colorful background on 21 Berkshire towns
  • Commentary on Berkshire natural history, local history, and flora and fauna
