Britain's Worst Walks: Travels around the UK's Gloriously Grim Backwaters

'At the end of Southend Pier, turn around and walk back to the shore. You will soon notice that the return journey is not as nice because you have to look at Southend.' From Southend to Skegness via slums, sewage works and sandless beaches, this unique walking guide takes a look at some of the most overlooked routes in the UK. They may be popular, they may not be pretty, but they're all part of the great British landscape-whether we like it or not. AUTHOR: Ben Hind is editor of the Scottish Sunday Express.
