Britain's Best Drives by Richard Wilson
Back in the fifties, motoring was a liberating experience. Before motorways, traffic jams and road rage, the leisurely Sunday drive could be the highlight of the week. Now, armed with period driving guides, Richard Wilson has packed his picnic, flask and himself into some very stylish vintage cars to retrace six classic routes through the UK and recreate the pleasure of the golden age of motoring for BBC TV. Including the dramatic winding roads of the North Cornwall coast, the lochs and peaks of the Central Highlands and the bronze-age monoliths of the North Yorkshire moors, Richard explores some of the most striking and beautiful scenery and landmarks Britain has to offer. Along the way he meets the people who live there and remember how these places once were, and wonders why things aren't what they used to be.
Richard Wilson is best known for his starring role as Victor Meldrew in BBC television's long-running sitcom One Foot in the Grave. Nigel Richardson is an award-winning travel writer and the former deputy travel editor of The Daily Telegraph. He has written four previous books and is also a radio dramatist.
