Bradt Slow Travel Guide: Isle of Wight (häftad, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
The Isle of Wight is an island that is astonishingly ? and unexpectedly ? rich in wildlife, natural beauty, history, archaeology, classy museums and Victoriana. This is all the more remarkable for it being so close to the densely populated southern edges of England. Covering just 25 miles by 13 miles, no other equivalent-sized area of Britain boasts such a variety of landscapes (downland, estuaries, hills, saltmarshes, meadows, riverine, beach) or such an intense concentration of food producers (50+ independents).
Here there is a real island culture, a creative spirit that favours the independent and idiosyncratic. There is urban fascination too: Cowes is famous for its sailing jamboree, but is also packed with interest from narrow, medieval streets to local one-of-a-kind shops. Bradt's Isle of Wight encompasses the island's strong associations with British royalty ? from Queen Victoria's final home to the castle where Charles I was imprisoned ? and architectural history, including 15th-century manor houses.
It also covers quirks, curiosities and attractions, including Jimi Hendrix's unusual love affair with the island, a day in the life of a ferry master, World War II history, the annual walk at low tide to look for marine creatures underneath Ryde's grand Victorian pier, award-winning wines and more dinosaur fossil-rich beaches than anywhere else in Britain! Twenty maps will help you navigate from one point of interest to another, take walks and enjoy cycle rides.
Indeed, whatever your interest, Bradt's Isle of Wight (Slow Travel) will help you to plan and enjoy a visit to remember. AUTHOR: Mark Rowe is a wildlife and outdoors journalist with 20+ years' experience who has explored the Isle of Wight more than 30 times ? first as a teenager, then as a walker and birdwatcher, and now as a parent.
He knows Wight inside out, taking delight in the quirky and unusual side of island life, which is very much part of the visitor's experience. Using his eye for detail, he feels strongly that the Isle of Wight has a great deal to offer a wide range of visitors interested in food, wildlife, stunning coastal landscapes and much more besides.
He considers that this book celebrating slow travel on the sheltered climes of an island off the south coast of England is a reward for good behaviour and the many winters endured researching Bradt's guides to the Outer Hebrides and Orkney.
