COAST ROAD by Paul Gogarty
Award-winning writer Paul Gogarty's second travelogue is an idiosyncratic, intimate and illuminating snapshot of England and Englishness. Gogarty travels close to 3,000 miles along the coast road in a VW camper van to explore coastal communities. All points of the compass are covered in a journey that covers the Thames estuary, Brighton, the South Coast, the West Country, Liverpool Docks, the Cumbrian ports, the last fishermen of Grimsby and the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts. Gogarty discusses coastal geology and history, and introduces a cast of memorable characters. An exploration of Englishness, this well-researched and evocative journal will tempt even the most ardent armchair traveller, and is an excellent follow-up to 'The Water Road.'
Paul Gogarty contributes regularly to the Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Guardian and Daily Express. He is the travel editor of Cosmopolitan and from 1992 to 2001 he was chief travel writer at the Daily Telegraph and for three years he was a regular presenter on BBC1's Holiday programme. He is the author of The Water Road (1861055153), which recently won two of the seven coveted Guild of Travel Writers awards and is also published by Robson Books. Paul Gogarty lives in London.
