Back in 2005 we met with the Madeira Times walking writer Shirley Whitehead. Visitors to Madeira will know Shirley's enthusiastic style and
intimate local knowledge. The first edition of Shirley Whitehead's Madeira Walks
has been a great success so Shirley has expanded the walking routes for a new
2nd Edition that is now a whopping 176 page 'Walk!' style guide book.
Combined with Shirley's
Walk! Madeira
and our latest Madeira Tour & Trail Map you have
everything you need to explore the wealth of walking adventures available on the
'Garden Isle'.
This second edition of
Shirley Whitehead’s Madeira Walks book offers a wealth of choice for every
walker and explores the best areas the island has to offer, guiding you on forty
routes, each re-researched for up-to-date accuracy. With this book in your
pocket, your visit to Madeira becomes an unforgettable adventure.
Each of the 40 walking route descriptions includes:-
Route summary giving overall view of the route and access information; Ratings
for Effort, Time, Distance, Ascents/Descents, Refreshments, and Vertigo risk
where applicable, in an easy to see pictorial ‘Summary’ box: Fully
detailed walk description, including frequent timings to aid navigation and
check your progress;
GPS waypoints at every key point on every route
(subject to reception);
full colour 1:40,000 scale mapping for each route
taken from the latest edition of Madeira Tour & Trail Map.
Madeira has such a wealth of walking routes that they cannot all be contained
in a single pocket sized book, so Shirley Whitehead has produced both Walk!
Madeira and the latest edition of Shirley Whitehead’s Madeira Walks so that the
two books cover all of the island’s walking adventures; without any duplication
between her two books. Combined with the Madeira Tour & Trail Map, for planning
which routes you plan to hike and navigating around the island, you have the
‘complete’ walking package for this remarkable island.
With Shirley Whitehead’s Madeira Walks, Walk! Madeira and the Tour & Trail Map
you will be able to choose which routes are most suitable for your walking
adventures and your fitness level. There are routes suitable for strolling,
ranging up to adventurous routes that will thrill experienced mountain hikers.
You can tackle all of these walking adventures with the comfort of knowing that
all the walk descriptions have been researched in detail along with GPS
surveying of every route.
Amazon Reader Reviews:- for Shirley's 1st Edition
What a little gem this book is. A good selection of walks, some not seen in
other publications, with clear, concise directions and descriptions and good
maps. There is extensive detail on local flora and buildings of interest.
I love the Sunflower books but Shirley's is the ideal companion and a 'must
have'. I look forward to using it for the first time very soon.

I bought this from amazon.co.uk and used it on a recent holiday to Madeira. We
tried out three walks, not covered in any other books we've read and really
enjoyed them.
Shirley's directions and descriptions of the walks are great and took us to some
places we would not have otherwise discovered. She also goes into interesting
detail about the local plant life, history and places of interest. An excellent
guide, which we'll be using again on our next trip.
