Dorset and East Devon

Dorset and East Devon

Malcolm Hart

The Dorset and East Devon region is characterized by a variety of beautiful landscapes and a wealth of exciting geology, including such features as Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Chesil Beach, the fossil-laden cliffs of Lyme Regis and the red cliffs of East Devon. The area is equally well-known for numerous fascinating examples of how our ancestors interacted with the landscape, from Neolithic burial mounds and earthworks, through more recent effects of mining, quarrying and mineral extraction, to the local materials used to build houses.

Explore Dartmoor and South Devon by bike with this laminated, waterproof Dartmoor map. With 18 circular, clearly-marked routes this easy-to-use map will help you discover the best of Dartmoor along the quietest country lanes. Some of Britain’s finest landscapes can be discovered in Dartmoor National Park. Discover desolate moorland tracks, lush valleys, thick woodland and picturesque villages. Combine this with the rocky coastline, quiet creeks and rolling hills of south Devon and you’re in for some beautiful days in the saddle as you explore this wonderful landscape. Our Dartmoor and South Devon Cycling Country Lanes map includes: * Traffic-free family cycling trails - including the Granite Way, Plym Valley Trail and Totnes to Dartington Riverside Trail with recommendations on where to park. * National Cycle Network routes - the linked series of traffic-free paths and traffic-calmed roads being developed across the UK. * Our personal favourites – we’ve explored every corner of this Dartmoor and South Devon to bring you the best circular routes to make the most of your weekend whether you fancy a lazy meander or a full-on tour. So, if you seek the peace of quiet country lanes, the beauty of lush river valleys and the heaven-sent views across Dartmoor, afforded by flat ridges which soon swoop you down to picturesque villages with tea rooms awash with clotted cream, and hospitable inns.

Exmoor  North Devon The Quantocks Gravel & Mountain Bike Routes
Explore Exmoor and North Devon on your mountain bike with this laminated, waterproof Exmoor map. With 10 clearly-marked routes this easy-to-use map will help you discover the best of Exmoor and North Devon off road. From sand-dunes, surf beaches and rocky cliffs of the coast, through wooded hills and green-pastured valleys to the heather and tawny-grasses of the high moors; for such a small area Exmoor contains an extraordinary variety of scenery. Add the pubs and cafes of friendly country towns, and the fabled Devon cream teas of village tea-shops, all linked by narrow, high-banked lanes which see little traffic that much of their surface is covered by moss and grass, and a network of forest tracks and ancient green lanes and bridleways, and you have one of the secret jewels of the UK's off-road riding scene. But what you won't get - with one or two very obvious exceptions - are bone-juddering gnarly descents, so if you're looking for the "Oh my God" factor, this isn't the place. Instead, you have a collection of superbly varied and rideable routes - from the almost flat circuit of Braunton and the Burrows to the challenging climbs and long, open descents of some of the inland routes. Outside of Exmoor's National Park, the Quantock Hills deserve a special mention. With views out over the waters of the Bristol Channel, this area of interconnected ridges above steeply wooded combes is covered with trails that could have been designated for off-road biking. But when the sun is shining on the great ridge of the Quantocks from Crowcombe Park Gate towards Beacon Hill, or high up on Dunkery Beacon in the midst of Exmoor - one thing is for sure - this is as close to off-road riding heaven as it gets.

Since the first edition of this book, this has remained the most popular book about the county for more than a decade. Devon has a greater sense of identity than most other counties and this very attractive volume reveals the reasons why. “ ... impressed by how it flows between subject and concepts. It is certainly the best book I have read which gives an easy to understand history of this County.” Dartmoor National Park Authority

In Devon the thread of history is everywhere evident - on its wild, grand moors and in its charming villages, in the ubiquitous craftsmanship in wood, clay and wool on which its prosperity has so often rested - and Shirley Toulson traces it faithfully in this most comprehensive and engaging of guidebooks. We follow her through the pastoral delights of the South Hams, across Exmoor and Dartmoor, to the harbour-towns, where each quayside is drenched in Devon's maritime history, compellingly recounted for us in this most companionable of guides to this most hospitable of counties.

Poets of Devon and Cornwall, from Barclay to Coleridge
Alexander Barclay, Richard Carew, Humfrey Gifford, Anne Dowriche, Sir Walter Ralegh, Sir Arthur Gorges, Joseph Hall, John Ford, Robert Herrick, Sidney Godolphin, William Strode, William Browne, Mary, Lady Chudleigh, John Gay, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. All of these are poets born in the two westernmost counties of England, or - like Hall and Herrick - poets who were active there. In time we stretch from the very beginning of the 16th century until the early 19th century. We begin with Barclay, a priest at Ottery St. Mary, and we close with Coleridge, the son of a priest at Ottery St. Mary, his birthplace. We have names that echo down through the ages (Ralegh), great writers central to the development of English poetry (Herrick, Coleridge), we have divines (Hall, Herrick), we have cavaliers (Godolphin), we have balladeers (Gay), we have under-recognised talents (Gorges, Strode, Browne, Chudleigh), we have virtuoso translators (Barclay, Carew) and we have two women poets (Dowriche, Chudleigh), one of whom influenced Marlowe and another whose work was admired by Dryden.This anthology presents an unusual collection of some fine poets from the south-west corner of England and inaugurates a new Classics series from Shearsman Books.
