About the Author

Marie Houlden lives with her family, in the beautiful town of Bournemouth. It was only once Marie became a mum and a regular pushchair user that she realised just how restricted walking can be for those with access challenges. Even more importantly, there was simply not enough information available on routes, which were accessible and unrestricted - allowing everyone to enjoy the benefits of walking. Marie feels passionately about sharing her knowledge on accessible walking routes in Dorset, and so she compiled this book containing 25 of the best accessible walking routes for those with access challenges.
