Author Description

This insider's guide to some of the most beautiful areas of the South Hams is designed around footpaths, bus routes and water transport, and aims to encourage people to leave their cars behind and enjoy experiencing the countryside at a slower pace. The book explores the Kingsbridge, Avon and Dart estuaries: places for picnics, kite-flying, bat-watching, plant buying, taking tea and eating oysters. It lists local fetes, shows and regattas, as well as child-friendly places and activities to enjoy. There are notes on wildlife, local history, architecture, shops, and places to eat and drink, as well as unconventional places to stay.
