Coastal Britain: England and Wales by Stuart Fisher
When all her islands are taken into consideration, the British coastline spans almost 8,000 miles, which is longer than both Brazil’s and Mexico’s. From the clear blue waters of serene Cornish bays to the tempestuous seas around rugged Pembrokeshire headlands, this new book journeys around the varied shorelines of England and Wales to complete the most comprehensive survey ever taken. Stuart Fisher, bestselling author of the similarly comprehensive Canals of Britain, visits all the places of interest along the entire coastline of England and Wales: from remote countryside to modern cities, exploring history and heritage, striking architecture and dramatic engineering, wildlife, wonderful flora and fauna, art and literature. His journey takes him from industrial hubs to small villages and fishing communities, providing a keen insight into what makes each stretch of Britain’s shoreline unique and special. Evocative and often dramatic colour photographs help capture the great variety of the coast, and maps, book covers, stamps and local artefacts help convey the character of each area. This comprehensive and absorbing survey is a treasure trove of interest and knowledge for walkers, cyclists, boaters, holidaymakers and indeed anyone with an interest in coastal Britain.
Stuart Fisher is the author of the bestselling Canals of Britain (now in its 3rd edition). He has made it his life's work to research Britain's waterways, both inland and coastal, and has a reputation second to none for the depth and range of his research and knowledge.
