First published in 1964, this book examines the Tour of Britain. It
focuses, neither on foreign tourists coming to Britain, nor on
British tourists travelling abroad, but on British people exploring
their native land in the three centuries from 1540 to 1840. During
this period, it became a popular pastime amongst gentlemen of
leisure to travel for weeks, even months, in discovery of their own
country and this book describes both the pleasure taken by tourists
of Britain and the hardships they endured. Tracking these journeys
over three centuries, the book presents a changing English
landscape, a changing economy, and a change in people's tastes as
the interests and concerns of the tourists evolve over the
timeframe covered.
