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.
