Reisgids Go Slow Devon North & Mid - Bradt guides

Productomschrijving: Een gloednieuwe titel, onderdeel van Bradt's bekroonde serie van Slow reisgidsen voor Britse regio's, met de meest diepgaande dekking beschikbaar voor Noord- en Midden Devon, misschien wel het mooiste en meest ongerepte landschap in het zuidwesten van Groot-Brittannië.

Met een dekking per gebied, van Clovelly en de Cornish grens in het noorden tot de Exe vallei en de Tarka spoorlijn in midden Devon, staat het vol met suggesties voor waar te gaan en wat te doen, inclusief veel buitenactiviteiten zoals paardrijden, coasteering, wandelen en fietsen. Interessante plaatsen om te overnachten en te eten worden uitvoerig beschreven, evenals festivals, plaatselijke gewoonten en tradities, historische aspecten, anekdotes, tuinen, National Trust eigendommen en waar u kunt gaan sterrenkijken onder de donkere hemel van de regio.

Engelse omschrijving: A brand new title, part of Bradt’s award-winning series of Slow travel guides to UK regions, offering the most in-depth coverage available to north and mid Devon, arguably the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in southwest Britain. With area-by-area coverage, from around Clovelly and the Cornish border in the north to mid-Devon’s Exe valley and Tarka railway line, it is packed with suggestions for where to go and what to do, including plenty of outdoor activities such as horse-riding, coasteering, walking and cycling. Interesting places to stay and eat are detailed, as are festivals, local customs and traditions, historical aspects, anecdotes, gardens, National Trust properties and where to go star-gazing beneath the region’s Dark Skies.

North Devon has a unique blend of wild rugged coastline, deep river valleys, heather-covered moorland, family-friendly sandy beaches, great surfing and enchanting villages. While the car-free village of Clovelly provides a glimpse of Devon as it was 100 years ago, north Devon is also one of the country’s leading centres for coasteering. Mid Devon is the least touristy part of the southwest – truly Slow Devon. The towns still hold weekly pannier markets and the pubs are full of locals discussing the price of sheep and ruby red cattle. People still walk, ride and cycle as part of their lives and visitors are always struck by the region’s diversity: the wonderful views, the range of wildlife and the clarity of the night skies.

Join veteran traveller, author and Devon resident Hilary Bradt, and her fellow long-term travellers and Devon residents Gill and Alistair Campbell, to discover in this unique guide exactly what it is that makes this beguiling region so special. From Lundy Island to the haunted village of Lapford, and from the extraordinary Fairground Heritage Centre to the War Horse Museum, Bradt’s Slow Mid and North Devon has everything you need for a perfect trip.
