The Rocky Mountain and Great Basin states are the heart of
ghost-town country. Once-bustling pioneer outposts, mining camps,
lumber towns, and railroad villages stand today as reminders of the
glory days of gold rushes, industrial progress, and that pioneering
spirit of the Old West. This book guides readers to the fascinating
and scenic ghost towns of Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah,
and Nevada. Varney highlights popular tourist destinations as well
as out-of-the-way spots unfamiliar even to natives of the region.
Maps, historical background, and stunning color photographs bring
to life dozens of ghost towns and provide practical information for
exploring this fascinating chapter of American history.
The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail is an
easy-to-follow 130-mile trail that combines the best of inland and
coastal walking in Norfolk, and one that, being well waymarked,
largely flat and within easy reach of public transport for most of
its length, is ideal for people new to long-distance walks.
Described in 11 stages, the route can be walked in just over a week
but also easily split into day walks or over a series of weekends,
with full information about access to start and finish points for
each stage by public transport. This handy guidebook is illustrated
throughout with extracts of OS 1:50K mapping and stunning
photographs depicting the Trail in all seasons and describes points
of interest along the way, including the Norfolk Songlines
sculptures, and also facilities available in the towns and
villages. The trail is a walk of two halves. The Peddars Way begins
at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk and follows the route of an old
Roman road for over 40 miles to Holme-next-the-Sea, where it meets
the Norfolk Coast Path (which begins nearby, at Hunstanton). This
then follows the spectacular Norfolk coast to the seaside town of
Hopton-on-Sea.
