The perfect way to explore Kent is with a scenic circular walk
followed by tea and cake, and the tea rooms in this book are the
perfect places to start or finish your adventure. All have been
carefully selected for their individual character - there's one in
a lighthouse, one with a collection of 8,000 teapots and several in
historic buildings. This is the `Garden of England' and the 20
circular routes here, ranging in length from 13/4 to 5 miles, span
the diverse landscapes that give the county its moniker. There are
idyllic waterside walks and glorious coastal paths, such as those
at Herne Bay and St Margaret's Bay; gentle strolls through the
beautiful country estates of Penshurst and Knole; and dreamy
woodland wanders at Ightham Mote and Westerham. All walks include:
Directions to the start Parking and public transport info Numbered
route map and directions Distance Recommended local tea rooms and
cafes Points of interest along the way There are also historical
treasures to discover throughout, from stately homes and churches
to windmills and watermills. Whether you choose to start or end
your walk with tea and cake is entirely up to you.
Discover Lincolnshire's beautiful countryside with this guide to
some of the best walks in the county. The 15 circular routes vary
in length from 4 to 7 miles and are centred on a broad variety of
pubs - many of them award-winning, and all recommended for their
good food and warm welcome. Explore the coast near Anderby Creek,
the woods in the Wolds, the hills in the vales, the marshes of the
fens, the dozens of canals and rivers, and take in views of the
mighty Humber Bridge. Enjoy a city walk along England's oldest
canal in Lincoln and climb the tower at Tattershall Castle to view
the magnificent Lincolnshire countryside.
The Great North Road is part of British folklore, the Route 66 of
Britain, except instead of gas stations and diners we have
magnificent coaching inns, part of the living history of our
islands. Taking in the history of these buildings (including a
feature on highwaymen, who often concealed themselves in secret
rooms and tunnels in these inns,) as well as the literature that
has celebrated them - from Charles Dickens through to J B Priestley
- Roger Protz describes these coaching houses with an expert and
discerning eye, producing not only a great pub guide but a
gazetteer of the history and culture that are draped along this
iconic road.
