Riding my Bike
Bikepacking has been an activity since bikes were invented, but in recent years it has really grown in popularity. The UK has proven itself to be an exceptional place for bike-bound, off-road adventures. In this book, Mike takes you on his journey to becoming a competent bikepacker and it's filled with top tips and good advice. It contains tales from some of our greatest bikepacking routes including the Highland Trail 550, the Trans Cambrian and the Lakeland 300 routes. The centrepiece of the book is Mike's own Cylchdaith Cymru/Welsh 550 journey around his adopted home of Wales. Mike is a naturalist, mountaineer and educator and as such he comments knowledgeably on the countryside and how it is being managed. He tells tales of the people he meets, the people he cycles with, and the places he visits. This is a bikepacking travelogue for our times.
Crossings of the River Skerne
The River Skerne is about twenty-five miles long. It begins its journey in an unlikely spot somewhere between Trimdon and Trimdon Grange; it ends just south of Darlington at Hurworth Place, where it joins the River Tees. As the crow flies, the distance from source to mouth is only sixteen miles. Despite its shortness, the river flows through areas that provide an insight into the history of lower County Durham.

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.
Unseen Scotland
For centuries people have been beguiled and inspired by the imposing cloud-scattered mountains and tranquil lochs of Scotland's landscape. Aside from its breath-taking beauty, this country is steeped in a rich and violent history, alongside tales of fearless giants and mischievous fairies. In Unseen Scotland, photographer and travel guide Bryan Millar Walker takes us on an adventure through the rugged landscapes, hidden castle ruins and captivating folklore of his home country.

It is a journey through time, unearthing the stories behind ancient ruins and iconic places which have witnessed centuries of triumphs, tragedies, and intriguing tales.
The Hebrides
Paul Murton has spent half-a lifetime exploring some of the most beautiful islands in the world - the Hebrides. He has travelled the length and breadth of the Scotland's rugged, six-thousand-mile coast line, and sailed to over eighty islands.In this new and updated edition of his acclaimed book, Paul visits each of the Hebridean islands in turn, introducing their myths and legends, history, culture and extraordinary natural beauty.In addition he also meets the people who live there and learns their story. He has met crofters, fishermen, tweed weavers, Gaelic singers, clan chiefs, artists, postmen and bus drivers - people from every walk of life who make the islands tick. This blend of the contemporary and the traditional creates a vivid account of the Hebrides and serves as unique guide to the less well known aspects of life among the islands.
Overnight
There is something special about the night. For many, just the idea of it conjures thoughts of starlit skies, romance, refuge, of being tucked up in bed. For some, the night means fear, vulnerability, danger, sleeplessness. For others still, nightfall signals the start of work. At night things go bump, monsters hide under beds, owls take wing and foxes prowl. Overnight is a celebration of all things nocturnal, of those who labour while the rest of us sleep: the bakers, health workers, sailors, couriers, broadcasters, drivers, fishers, the men and women of the emergency services and more. And it is also a hymn to nighttime wildlife, dreams and art. We'll hang out with bats and look at the stars. We'll learn what Moomintroll has to teach us about insomnia. We'll travel by ship, train, racing car and foot. There will be more than one surprise along the way. Through a series of personal journeys Dan Richards explores what the night means to a fascinating array of people, taking us from night terrors to the glow of watching the dawn break on the summer solstice. Overnight will change the way you think about the hours after dark.
Dorset
This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Dorset (Slow Travel), Bradt's popular and distinctive guide, offers in-depth exploration of one of England's most popular counties. Author Alexandra Richards, Dorset born and bred, shares local insights to offer a wider, more personal selection of places to explore than any other guide, including attractions known only to locals, who normally keep the county's treasures to themselves. The result encourages you to slow down and appreciate why this county deserves repeat visits. Dorset is quintessential rural England: rolling hills, thatched houses, winding lanes and stunning stately homes. Enchanting Dorset landscapes described in Thomas Hardy's 19th-century novels are largely unchanged and are likely to remain so given that Dorset enjoys highest proportion of conservation areas in England. The county is trimmed by the spectacular Jurassic Coast (starring locations such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove), England's first natural World Heritage Site, whose cliffs continuously reveal their prehistoric, fossilised secrets. History buffs will love innumerable sites of archaeological interest, including Britain's largest Iron Age hillfort, Maiden Castle. More recent history includes Weymouth's D-Day memorial: the town was one of the biggest departure points for US troops, comprising 500,000 military personnel and 144,000 vehicles. Practical information covers where and what to eat, where and what to see, and how to get around. This fourth edition: integrates recent changes county-wide; covers additional villages; celebrates child-friendly activities; introduces local food and drink producers; and suggests new walks. Discover Dorset's award-winning vodka made from milk; discover what really happens at the Filly Loo Festival; hunt fossils on beaches featured in the biopic film Ammonite, where Kate Winslet portrays world-famous palaeontologist Mary Anning; learn where never to say the word 'rabbits'; discover the Lyme Regis rubber duck race; and get to grips with the fabulous Dorset dialect. Whatever your interest, be it local food, tours of award-winning wineries, horseriding, relaxing on lauded beaches or spectacular coastal hikes, Dorset (Slow Travel) remains the essential companion guide for both enjoying the obvious sites and getting off the beaten track to understand what really makes this gorgeous, varied county tick.

Midsomer Murders Location Guide
Following in the Pitkin Armchair film and TV locations series, Midsomer Murders Location Guide highlights the real-life locations behind the fictional Midsomer County--the pubs, churches, and villages that make it such an international success. Midsomer Murders turns twenty-five in 2022, and to celebrate a quarter-century of Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby unraveling the murderous deeds of rural folk, Pitkin is launching a guide that pinpoints the most popular locations used for filming the series. The first episode, "The Killing at Badger's Drift," was an immediate ratings success in 1997 when John Nettles returned to television as DCI Barnaby after ten years of playing Sergeant Jim Bergerac. Nettles went on to star in eighty-one episodes of Midsomer Murders before retiring in 2010 and handing the reins to his cousin, John Barnaby. The series is sold around the world and is known as Barnaby in Europe, so it needed a DCI Barnaby at the helm. Actor Neil Dudgeon, who appeared as an amorous gardener in the series four episode "Garden of Death," took the part. The location guide highlights some of the familiar pubs, churches, villages, and countryside that can be visited. The Lions of Bledlow has been five different pubs in its Midsomer lifetime, while the Crown Inn at Sydenham can claim at least three. Villages clustered around the Oxfordshire-Buckinghamshire border--Turville, Hambleden, Fingest, Haddenham, and Long Crendon--are favorite backdrops. While many of the grand country houses are private residences, a few, such as Mapledurham and Greys Court, are administered by the National Trust. Plus, there are many ancient churches to admire, quite often the scene of grisly goings-on in the vestry. Ask Mark Gatiss about the Sword of Guillaume! With all 128 episodes available on BritBox, fans of the show can watch old episodes with Midsomer Murders Location Guide in hand and spot exactly where DCI Barnaby brings the sometimes unlikely villains to book.

Murder on the Mail
From the author of the ever-popular Steaming Into books: the second title in a series of short crime fiction novels, set aboard the steam railways.In the darkest corners of London, Jonathan Gregory is hatching a plot to part the wealthy Lord Wetherby from an extensive jewellery collection. A forthcoming train journey on the Irish Mail presents the perfect opportunity. All that is required is a pliable jeweller, and a corruptible official to whom his lordship will entrust the care of his cargo. Gregory knows just who to turn to, thanks in no small part to some advice from Detective Chief Inspector Brown. The Irish Mail to Holyhead just before the Great War presents a different opportunity for a number of its passengers, as it travels from the south of the country to the north: that of escape. Mr Gordon Lowe is hoping to avoid retribution from the father of a young woman he has recently wronged, while Lady Denise Marchant is on the run from a terrible besmirching of her character (thanks to a wardrobe malfunction at a society function), and young lovers James and Harriet are on their way to Gretna Green to get wed before their parents can stop them. Travelling alongside this variety of passengers are Jonathan Gregory's wife, a private detective, a couple of heavies, and of course the reliable enginemen, all of whom have their own missions to complete.The threads become tangled as worlds collide on board the Irish Mail, and not everyone will be disembarking with a smile on their face.
This Stolen Land
The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn Estuary in South Wales: Chepstow at their head; their more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Cardiff at their 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 and social history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.
Lochs and Legends
**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** A Scotsman's guide to the extraordinary tapestry of the land, history, folklore and stories of his homeland. From the majestic beauty of the wild Scottish landscape to the hidden traces of its history waiting to be uncovered in every town and village, Andrew McAlindon is enthralled by the country he is lucky enough to call home. As one of Scotland's busiest tour guides in real life and online, Andy travels around the country to ancient sites such as castles, cemeteries, burial chambers and prisons, celebrating the history, folklore, superstitions and the fascinating people that make Scotland so unique. Lochs and Legends is Andy's love letter to Scotland, a love that began when he landed a part on the worldwide phenomenon Outlander, and led to him dedicating his life to learning more about the true star of the show - Scotland. A social media sensation as Andy the Highlander, his first book opens up Scotland's secrets to anyone, even if they can only explore it from the comfort of their armchair. It invites you to time travel with Andy, walking in the footsteps of kings and queens, lairds and ladies, murderers, farmers, poets, invading armies, and everyday folks like himself. It is Scotland as you've never seen it before.
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.

Stone Journals
Since seeing his first photographs of Stonehenge as a young boy living in northern California, Patrick has been fascinated by the standing stones of Europe. His first actual experience of walking among the stones did not occur until 1986, when he was in his mid 30's. Over the following years he continued to make return trips and his passion for them, and his desire to understand them, grew stronger with each visit.Megalithic stone monuments are spread all over Europe, with a high concentration in Ireland and the UK. Although there are many theories as to who built them and why, and though archeologists have made many enticing discoveries which help explain when these monuments might have been built, along with their purposes, no-one really knows.In 2009 Patrick decided it was time to try to really get close and personal with the stones, to find out what he could about them, as well as from them. So, he planned and undertook the first of what he called his "Stone Journeys." Over the next nine years he searched out and found over 150 different stone sites in six different countries, many of which he returned to on numerous occasions.keywords: Standing stones, Stone circles, Megaliths, Dowsing, Earth Mysteries, Travel, Journal, Stonehenge

The Cotswolds
In this new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's The Cotswolds, part of Bradt's distinctive 'Slow Travel' series of guides to UK regions, local resident and experienced travel writer Caroline Mills shares her favourites in a region that includes some of US visitors' most popular places outside London. Drawing on more than 50 years' living in the Cotswolds, and combining engaging first-person narrative with authoritative advice, Mills slows readers down and helps them delve deeply into a range of regions: the Cotswolds National Landscape Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB); the Cotswold escarpment, hills and valleys; the Wiltshire Cotswolds and the area known as the Four Shires; three Cotswold 'gateways' (Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath and Oxford); the lesser-known 'hidden' fringes of the Cotswolds, including the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, which follow the youthful Thames Valley, and the Cotswold Way National Trail. The Cotswolds' rich manmade heritage includes: Highgrove Gardens (the private home of King Charles III and the Queen Consort); Oxford University (the world's oldest); Stratford-upon-Avon (home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre); the Roman towns of Bath (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Cirencester, plus Fosse Way (one of the UK's most important Roman roads); many famous castles, abbeys, country houses and estates (including Blenheim Palace, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site); the American Museum (the only museum of its kind outside the USA); and quintessential English villages such as Bibury (with the photogenic Arlington Row) and Broadway (where there was a notable American Artist's colony in the early 20th century). With a harmonious combination of quintessential rural England, charming provincial market towns, appealing countryside, quirky British events such as Gloucestershire's annual cheese-rolling competition or Tetbury's Woolsack Races, and a wealth of local food-and-drink producers, the Cotswolds are an all-year-round destination, whether for a day trip, a quiet weekend away as part of a wider visit, or a multi-week holiday. Whether your interests comprise city or country, historic buildings or horseriding, walking or gastronomy, Bradt's Cotswolds (Slow Travel) is the perfect guide to facilitate in-depth exploration and intense enjoyment.
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.
Edinburgh
With each winding road and tucked away corner, a new architectural treasure or monument reveals itself as Edinburgh's walls begin to tell of a rich and fascinating history.The melancholy sepia photographs in the book explore Edinburgh's Royal Mile and its surrounding areas including some of its beautiful cemeteries: Greyfriars Kirkyard, New Calton Burial Ground, and Canongate Kirkyard.Take a stroll through the streets and enjoy the facades of Edinburgh Castle, St. Gile's Cathedral, the Canongate Tolbooth, Regent Bridge and the mystery of the city's alleys and closes.A picture is worth 1000 words- a unique art photography book without text.For those interested in dark tourism/alternative travel destinations, this is a lovely photo book with a surreal touch. Photomontages and the vintage feel of the images are reminiscent of times gone by.A list of addresses of locations is included at the end of the book with corresponding page numbers.
The South Downs
In the wake of five years which had seen a heart-attack, an operation to remove one third of his lungs, and increasing pain and difficulty walking from arthritis, Callum James resolved to walk the South Downs Way, one hundred miles from Winchester to the coast at Eastbourne. Walking five miles one day each weekend, James limped down the steep hill into Eastbourne four months later. The South Downs is partly a grimoire of the walk, partly a linear topography, partly a treatise on necromancy. Subverting the expectation that books on landscape are divorced from folklore, spirits, and the magic of a place, Callum James writes as one who does this magic, speaks to these spirits, and follows this lore. As a result, this is a book which is neither fiction nor non-fiction, because those categories don't work when you leave materialism behind. It is story.

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.

Letters from a Postman
Dearest Reader, Millions of posties have carried billions of letters across hundreds of years, and yet nobody has ever delivered a single word to describe a collection of them. But, then, just what is a postie in the 21st century?After one Christmas on the job almost sends him packing, Tom Dymond embarks on a year of wondering and wandering through the streets of Bristol. As the pressures on a modern day mailman pull him in two directions, he asks what it means to be a good postie, and why there isn't a word for a collection of them? Maybe if he can find the word, he can find the meaning.Through scorching summers, freezing winters and biting dogs he seeks the appropriate phrase, all the while seeking the appropriate letterboxes. Is it a perambulation of posties? A pillar, perhaps? A strike, more likely? This year of letters exposes the carnage and comedy of the sorting office, gives voice to the messengers of the nation, and reveals the life of a postie in a way never heard before. In Letters from a Postman, Tom Dymond tucks the reader into his satchel and takes them on his daily rounds. If you like a travel book with a twist, a postie with a point and a bundle of letters about the British, then the enclosed is undoubtedly for you.Yours Sincerely, P.

A Tour in Wales
Although from North Wales, Thomas Pennant was initially known for his travel writing on Scotland, two well-regarded books about whose natural history were published in the early 1770s. And while his books on North Wales deal with geographical, mineralogical, botanical, ornithological, and ichthyological matters, A Tour in Wales, first publisned 1778, focuses primarily on the history and antiquities of the region. These he treated from a gentleman's perspective, his emphasis on the numerous castles, great Mediaeval families, and their estates or dominions; however, he does not neglect commerce, festivals, or notable structures, like city walls, bridges, or canals. Special attention is paid to Owain Glyndŵr's conflict with Henry IV, a subject of enormous interest to the author. The text is bursting with a profusion of names, be it of locations or notable personages; thus, one has to admire Pennant's indefatigable thoroughness, laborious collecting of information, and remarkable erudition-particularly given the sources and tools available at the time, and the general difficulty in accessing books, maps, or documents. His prose is fluid, easy, and extraordinarily amenable, and comes enhanced with twenty-six beautiful engravings, first sketched on the field by Moses Griffiths, his travelling companion. Therefore, it is not surprising that Pennant's volume became the most significant literary reference for subsequent travel writers. His contemporary, Samuel Johnson praised him as a man who 'observes more things than any one else does', while his biographer, W. T. Parkins, considers this his 'best performance'.
