A SERIES of new guides have been published to help trekkers find out more about the picturesque countryside they are walking in.
The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust's booklets are the latest in a series of guides part funded by LEADER+, a European Community Initiative, explaining the landscape and geology of the county based around a walk.
The four new landscape, river and geology trail guides look at present day features, the effects of the Ice Age, abandoned river valleys and the evidence for very different environments which existed millions of years ago.
And they focus on the lowland between the Rivers Wye and Lugg, Queenswood Country Park, the Bodenham area, Ross-on-Wye and the Wye Gorge.
Each guide is in an area of scenic beauty and tells the story of the development of the landscape seen along the route and highlights points of interest.
The leaflets are available through most good tourist outlets and the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust, based at the Geological Records Centre at University College Worcester in Henwick Grove, Worcester.
