East Devon & The Jurassic Coast (Slow Travel) - Hilary Bradt, Janice Booth

Part of Bradt''s distinctive, award-winning series of ''Slow'' travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated third edition of East Devon and The Jurassic Coast (Slow Travel) remains the most comprehensive - and only standalone - guide available to this area. Written with insider knowledge that can only be gained by living in the area, and combined with colourful, enthusiastic and witty writing, plus contributions from local experts, this guidebook is as much a pleasure to read as an invaluable companion for exploring east Devon and west Dorset. Devon is the fourth most popular county for UK holidaymakers - and for good reason. Over a hundred square miles of East Devon are designated a ''National Landscape'' (formerly ''Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'') and the internationally famous Jurassic Coast stretching into Dorset is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The charming coastal town of Seaton benefits from sensitive development, including the extension (to wildlife-packed Seaton Wetlands) of the Stop Line Way, a long-distance cycling and walking route to Bristol, originally designed to bolster World War II defences. Dorset''s Lyme Regis, meanwhile, is Britain''s fossil-hunting capital - as featured in the 2020 film Ammonite, starring Kate Winslet.With an emphasis on car-free travel - walking, cycling and local buses - this Bradt guide''s detailed descriptions, historical glimpses, folklore and personal anecdotes whet readers'' appetite for exploration.
