This brand new title in Bradt's acclaimed UK regional Slow series
is the only full guide to Cheshire, a county known for its
abundance of black-and-white timbered buildings and which was put
firmly on the map in the 1990s thanks to then-resident stars Posh
and Becks. Cheshire is a county that confounds expectations, from
the Cheshire Plain to the hills and moors of the Pennines and Peak
District in the east and surprisingly dramatic sandstone ridges in
the west, not to mention the Wirral Peninsula, flanked by the major
estuaries of the rivers Mersey and Dee flowing into the Irish Sea.
Home to premier league footballers it may be, but it is also a
largely rural landscape and an area of farm shops, forests and
falconries; meres, marinas and marshes. There is industrial and
scientific heritage, too, ranging from Bronze-Age mining sites to
the internationally important astronomical observatory and mighty
Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. With this new Bradt guide,
discover all of this and more: the county town of Chester with its
fascinating Roman history, unique double-decker medieval shopping
arcades and the most complete city walls in Britain; ruins of
ancient castles; and reminders of the salt and silk industries that
have been so important in the past. For a truly slow experience,
Cheshire also offers a network of canals, perfect for waterside
strolls or pootling along in a narrowboat, while Bradt's Slow
Cheshire details information for walkers and cyclists, too. Also
included in this guide are gardens and parks, grand stately homes
and structural legacies of the past (such as Port Sunlight),
engaging museums, attractions and events. Local food and drink is
covered, along with all types of accommodation, from B&Bs and
self-catering cottages to guesthouses and hotels.
A book of poetry, quips and my perspective of the world. A humorous
