Product Description
Product Description
Somerset, with its moors and pastoral landscapes, and its wealth of vernacular architecture in its market towns and villages, is one of England's glories. This is a guide to circular walks of between 3 and 12 miles, varying from strenuous hikes on Exmoor and the Quantocks to gentle rambles in the lowlands - most of which include at least one pub. There is full information on many long-distance paths and on accommodation for every walk. Many of the walks can be adjusted in length to suit every level of fitness or inclination. The county has been the scene of some of England's most significant historic events - battles of the Anglo-Saxon Conquest linked with Arthurian legend, the struggle against the Viking invasion and the last battle to be fought in England, the Battle of Sedgemoor. There is a wealth of information with particular reference to local history and literary heritage, including Blackmore's Lorna Doone, Thomas Hardy, Henry Fielding, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Robert Southey, Jane Austen, Evelyn and Auberon Waugh, and others.
About the Author
James Roberts finished work on his guide to Romania just before his untimely death in 2002. Since the revolution he had spent more than half of every year in Romania and had travelled throughout the country. An experienced solo backpacker here, as well as in the Himalaya, the Atlas and other areas, he worked as a leader of mountain-walking and wildlife groups. Married to Elena, a Romanian, James spoke the language and had an unrivalled knowledge of the country, having explored every massif solo on foot. With his detailed knowledge of the human and natural history of the country, he was an expert interpreter of the Romanian scene.
