introcution for each walk, expertly written numbered directions,
large scale Ordnance Survey maps, superb eye-grabbing panoramic
photograph,a nd interpretations of points of interest along the
way, these guides set a new standard in clarity and ease-of-use.
Featured pub walks along the South Devon Coast include: Ship Inn,
Noss Mayo; Dolphin Inn, Kingston; Sloop Inn, Bantham; Hope &

A visit to the battlefield of Verdun is usually dominated by the
forts of Douamont and Vaux, the museum at Fleury and the striking,
huge Ossuary, Although this gives a flavour of the horrific
fighting that took place in the area, particularly in 1916, the
visitor will be hard pressed to get much more than an impression
from such places.This book seeks to guide the battlefield pilgrim
into parts of the battlefield that get rarely visited by means of a
series of walks, a number of which include the major sites. The
four tours have been carefully walked. All are practicable for a
reasonably healthy adult; the tours vary in length, most taking a
half day to complete and the longest (the last) a day. In a twist
to the usual walks to be found in the Battleground series,
Christina makes full use of the numerous field graves and isolated
memorials that are to be found on the Verdun battlefield, a number
of which will bring visitors to the most visited sites. In the
course of these walks many physical remnants will be found, such as
gun positions, bunkers and trench systems, the significance of
which is fully explained. The walks have not been chosen at random:
by following these the tourer will get a far greater understanding
of why the fighting at Verdun developed as it did and why such
places as Fort Vaux were so significant to both sides. The field
graves and memorials to the combatants, very often of individuals,
provide an opportunity to give their story and the unit action in
which they were fighting when they were killed. Verdun is a
battlefield where the story of units and individuals can easily
become lost in the horror of the incessant fighting that raged over
ten months; and over ground which is extremely difficult to read
because of the post war forestation programme. Profusely
illustrated and with excellent mapping, a hallmark of Christina
Holstein's books, a visitor who follows the walks in this book will
be left with a far clearer idea of the men who fought and died here
and of the features of the battlefield and their significance in
this battle that so challenged the endurance of the armies of two
nations.
