Thematic Trails is a not-for-profit charity dedicated to publishing literature which, through education as a source of pleasure and recreation, aims to increase an awareness of valued environments. If we had a motto it would be to 'encourage topophilia' (love of landscape). The walks combine clear directions with a straightforward commentary designed to be stimulating, offering observations and explanation of the theme being explored and written in a form suitable for interested non-specialists as well as being a useful introduction to an area for those with a more specialist interest, who may use the guides as a basis for a deeper or more formal examination of the themes introduced.
