A Gentleman's Tour through Monmouthshire and Wales
Step back into the Georgian era as Henry Penruddocke Wyndham embarks on his sharply observed journey through the rugged landscapes of Wales. With an architect's precision and a traveller's restlessness, Wyndham chronicles a tour that finds its centre not in bustling towns or the habits of their inhabitants, but in the silent grandeur of castles-those stony sentinels of history. From the Norman strength of Caerphilly to the romantic desolation of Harlech, Wyndham's observations reveal his singular preoccupation: the architecture, origins, and faded glories of fortifications now weathered by time. His accounts are curt on the towns themselves, often dismissive of their charm (or lack thereof), but linger lovingly on the arches, towers, and ancient stones that evoke the sweep of centuries past. Between ruins, the Welsh landscape unfurls-a setting at once sublime and foreboding, where steep mountain passes, lush valleys, and brooding cliffs frame his travels. Sparsely worded but richly descriptive, Wyndham's narrative invites readers to reflect not only on the history etched into the land but on the fleeting nature of human ambition itself. This new edition brings Wyndham's terse but evocative prose back into print, offering a glimpse of Georgian travel writing in all its charm, eccentricity, and singularity of focus. For lovers of history, architecture, and the romance of ruins, this is a journey worth retracing.

Freedom Pass London
The new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's Freedom Pass London brings to life the UK capital through 26 carefully curated walks that reveal historical landmarks, wildlife hotspots and quiet corners with fascinating pasts. Although this travel guidebook is primarily designed for the 1.1 million people who can enjoy free travel in central and Greater London (thanks to the 'Freedom Pass'), its focus on walking destinations accessible by public transport makes it a must for anyone visiting London. One of London's unexpected glories is the way that the city meets countryside, not just in the surprisingly rural Green Belt, but also in the 'villagey' corners of suburbs, along urban rivers and amid the city's commons, parks and woodlands. The area covered encompasses parts of Essex, Kent, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Hertfordshire, extending from Amersham, northwest of London, to Epping in the northeast, Orpington in the southeast and Epsom in the southwest. With Bradt's Freedom Pass London, you can discover where Charles Darwin lived and the local area where he studied flora and fauna. You can meet Keats, Shakespeare, Pepys, Dr Johnson, Dorothy L Sayers and Vera Brittain on a literary tour. Or visit the home of William Penn, jailed in the Tower of London before emigrating and founding Pennsylvania. Or walk through ancient woodland covered with trees since Neolithic times - or another old forest where scenes from Star Wars films were shot. Or venture into murder and mayhem as you find locations from the TV series Midsomer Murders in the deceptively peaceful-looking Chilterns. Or wander along the Wandle for a throwback to the days of country estates, watermills and legendary textile designer William Morris. Or even stroll through Soho, Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury to discover how Karl Marx wrote, lectured - and fenced with a murderer. For each walk, there are tips about the best options for using public transport, along with a detailed route description, maps, options for flexibility and suggestions for pubs, caf矇s and museums en route. So lace up your walking shoes and let Bradt's Freedom Pass London bring the capital to life.

A Walk through Wales, in August 1797
In A Walk Through Wales, Richard Warner recounts his 26-day trek through the Welsh countryside in August 1797, presenting a vivid and engaging portrait of his journey. Set against sweeping mountains and lush valleys, Warner's letters capture the rugged, sometimes daunting beauty of the landscape. He pauses to marvel at ancient stone circles, explore ruined abbeys, and engage with local villagers, whose traditions and hospitality provide him with rich anecdotes to share. He describes every inn where he and his companion-always exhausted, sopping wet, and covered in mud-stop to rest after long days on foot. On one occasion, despite charming his way inside, he is suspected of mischief, and the inn's silverware is swiftly whisked out of sight. As he travels, Warner reflects on Welsh history and the lingering traces of Celtic culture, making this travelogue as much a meditation on the past as a celebration of Wales' natural splendour. Moments of humour appear throughout-such as Warner's encounters with unpredictable weather, quirky local characters, and his embarrassment when spotted traveling on foot by a refined group of ladies. His eye for picturesque detail draws readers into a time when travel was both an outward journey and an exploration of the self, promising a captivating experience through one of Britain's most enchanting landscapes.
Ian Fleming's London
The third in our collection of guides to the great London spy novelists, following on from John le Carr矇's London and Lamb's London - which explores the city as it appears in Mick Herron's Slough House novels. Ian Fleming's life was, in many aspects, identical to that of his creation, James Bond. They smoked the same cigarettes, drank the same cocktails, and went to the same restaurants. Much of the London that Fleming knew exists today, and with this guide, you can visit his tailor, drink at his favourite bar, buy his preferred aftershave, even loiter outside his flat. It's a tour that takes in some of London's wealthiest neighbourhoods, places immune to change, that would be immediately recognisable to Fleming 60 years after his death in 1964. And it brings to vivid life the agent known as 007, whose habits and preferences so mirror that of his creator.

Crossings of the Wear
Having been some time since I completed my Crossings of the Tees, I decided another project was called for. The Wear - at its closest only some fourteen miles from my home and flowing from high Pennines heathlands, through a gorgeous valley to its industrial mouth at Sunderland where it enters the North Sea - seemed an obvious choice. The history of the population of the Wear valley is closely linked to the history of the Industrial Revolution, its upper reaches flowing through lead mining country, its lower reaches through the Durham coalfield. Limestone quarrying, lead mining and coal mining encouraged the early adoption and development of railways.

This Stolen Land
The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn in South Wales: Cas Gwent (Chepstow) at its head; its more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Caerdydd (Cardiff), at its feet. You could waste an hour crossing the Levels by motorway. Or brush aside the journey by train. But writer Marsha O'Mahony has chosen the slow route of foreshore, footpath, and country lane. Over the course of two years, she meandered from village to village collecting conversations and anecdotes as she went. The result is a remarkable oral history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.
A Traveller's Companion to Edinburgh
David Daiches presents a vivid kaleidoscope of impressions of Edinburgh that splendidly recreate the spirit of the place. Edinburgh is a city whose history is written on its face. The Old Town on its crowded rock, sloping down from the Castle to Holyroodhouse, has not significantly changed its atmosphere since the turbulent fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when riots, processions, or public executions jammed the High Street. And the very different era that followed the bloody religious wars of the seventeenth century is epitomized by the elegant streets and squares of the New Town north of the Old--the eighteenth-century Enlightenment whose brilliant writers, philosophers and lawyers made Edinburgh famous. This anthology of extracts from letters, memoirs, diaries, novels and biographies of interesting visitors and inhabitants, including the writings of Scott, Boswell, Cockburn, John Knox and many others, recreates for today's visitors the drama, the history, and the life of the city in buildings and places that can still be visited. The daring Scottish recapture of the Castle from the English in 1313; the confrontation between Calvinist John Knox and Catholic Mary Queen of Scots in Holyroodhouse; an eye-witness account of the execution of Montrose at the Mercat Cross in 1650; Daniel Defoe's account of street riots in 1706 protesting against Scotland's imminent Union with England; Thomas Carlyle walking on Princes Street and Dr. Johnson on the High Street; reeking slop-pails in the wynds and polite manners in the ballrooms...
A Tour through Part of North Wales, in the Year 1798, and at Other Times
In 1798, driven by his passion for the region and a dream of compiling a comprehensive Flora Cambrica, John Evans embarked on a remarkable journey to explore the rugged and remote terrain of North Wales. While rare was the scientist who dared venture into its uncharted landscapes, Evans set out to uncover its botanical secrets. Yet, his exploration went far beyond botany. A man of deep sentiment, Evans was captivated not only by the region's stunning natural beauty but also by the unique customs and rich history of its people. His narrative, written as a series of engaging letters, draws inspiration from Arthur Aiken and Thomas Pennant. However, in contrast to Pennant, who focused on the noble families and their estates, Evans delves into the everyday lives of ordinary inhabitants providing a rare and intimate glimpse into their daily experiences, from the quirks of local customs and farming practices to charming anecdotes-like his own humorous account of requesting a shave from a local and the jubilant collective reaction (in the form of song and dance into the wee hours) that ensued his generous gratuity. For its time, Evans' perspective is refreshingly grounded and detailed, offering readers a close-up view of North Wales that earlier travel literature had yet to achieve. This book is not just a travelogue; it's insight into 18th-century North Wales, a captivating blend of geography, cultural observation, and historical reflection. Join John Evans on this extraordinary journey and discover the heart of a region that had then only recently become a fashionable travel destination.

Britain - Culture Smart!
Don't just see the sights―get to know the people. Britain is emerging from a decade of historic change. A Scottish bid for independence saw the relationship of the four nations evolve, and the passing of the world's longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, marked the end of an era. Today, as the post-Brexit, post-Covid dust settles, the country is having to redefine itself in a multipolar world. The challenges are many, yet so are the attributes that have enabled the peoples of these islands to find success over adversity time and again: an even-tempered reserve, tolerance, a love of fair play, a certain bloody-mindedness, and a sense of humor that turns misfortune to mirth. British pragmatism and ingenuity have ensured that, despite the setbacks, the country's economy remains the sixth largest in the world. This new and updated edition of Culture Smart! Britain unpacks all this and more. Penetrate the polite veneer of the people, learn about their customs and traditions, become acquainted with their values and attitudes, and your experience of this green and pleasant land will be greatly enriched. Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

Over the Hills and Far Away
First published in 1947, Over the Hills and Far Away takes the reader back to the holidays of olden times and then in the footsteps of the first holiday-makers on the European Continent in the 17th century. We watch the slow opening up of holiday facilities in the British Isles, first along roads which were mere tracks, then along improved roads until the opening of the railway era and the first holiday excursions.We make the Grand Tour in the 18th century, we return to the ever-improving roads, we look in at representative Spas at home and abroad, we discover the British seaside; we bathe with George III at Weymouth and peep at a Blackpool jealously guarded as a select bathing resort. At home and abroad, we encounter gamblers, highwaymen, Alpine climbers, budding politicians, bathers, explorers. And in the last chapter we look back to the holiday world as it was in the summer of 1914 before the lights went out.This book will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in knowing about three centuries of holidays.
Month’s Tour in North Wales, Dublin, and its Environs, with Observations upon their Manners and Police in the Year 1780
"My worthy friend W--- and I went to a popish mass-house. The superstition of the poor wretches, who frequently kissed the floor; the inexpressibly ridiculous fopperies of the priest, and the indecent filthiness of the place, gave us such an abhorrence of popery, as excited in us a mixture of indignation, pity and contempt. O popery, what hast thou to answer for, in thus fettering and enslaving the human mind!"First published in 1781, A Month's Tour in North Wales, Dublin, and Its Environs is the account of a gentleman traveller as he makes his way through North Wales, from an obscure village in Lancashire to Dublin, his desired destination, where he spends most of his tour. Along the way we are treated to complaints about the food supplied at the inns, the slothfulness of the locals, the legs of the women, the racket of drunkards, and the blush-inducing displays of public indecency. Particular attention is paid to religious service attendance, monumental architecture, and hospitals, as well as efforts to deal with paupers, orphans, and fallen women. Needless to say the author's prejudices are on full display, be it in the form of condescension or ironic comments. A short but enormously entertaining travelogue that delivers in spades.

Observations during a Tour to the Lakes of Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland
In 1794, Ann Radcliffe, one of the best known and most popular novelists of the late eighteenth-century, set off on a tour of the Lake District. She was at the very height of her fame, having already published three of her most successful Gothic novels. The account of her experiences in the region appeared the following year as Observations during a Tour to the Lakes and provides an important stepping-stone in the journey from picturesque tourism to Wordsworth's development of a poetics of place from 1799 onwards. Though Observations has been marginalised within subsequent accounts of Lakes literature, it was well-known in Romantic contexts and remained at the forefront of cultural accounts of the Lakes for many years, informing both John Keats and Thomas De Quincey's expectations about the region prior to their own encounters with this landscape. This edition of Observations provides a new generation of readers with an opportunity to experience Radcliffe's literary perspectives on a landscape which was still in the process of imaginative discovery. The volume includes suggestions for further reading, editorial notes on the text, and an introductory essay. The latter provides background on Radcliffe's life and work, and considers the ways in which Observations contributes to developing ideas about the cultural significance of the Lake District. Dr Penny Bradshaw is an Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Cumbria. She has written extensively about Romantic regional contexts and place-writing.
