Sunflower Landscape Guide – Umbria & The Marche
This pocket-sized guide describes car tours, picnic places and walks throughout Umbria and the Marche.
Umbria promotes itself as ‘Italy’s Green Heart’, and this description applies equally well to the lesser-known neighbouring region of the Marche. The main focal points of this guide are the two most beautiful areas of the Apennines in the region – the idyllic, deeply-etched valley of Valnerina in Umbria and the legendary Monti Sibillini which rise to almost 2500m and lie mainly in the Marche.
Naturally there is a wealth of art and architecture to be seen en route, whether you travel by car or on foot: everywhere you go, you come upon villages, castles, monasteries and farms which even today make beautiful pictures straight out of the Middle Ages.
8 car tours, each with suggestions for picnics en route (and with accompanying touring maps), 37 main walks with many shorter and longer variations. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher’s website, maintained daily.
The ‘Landscapes’ series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed ‘the blue Bibles’ by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
