East Devon & the Jurassic Coast : local, characterful guides to Britain's special places (Edition 1)

Slow East Devon and the Jurassic Coast is the most comprehensive - and only standalone - guide available to this region.

With publication timed to coincide with the opening of the Seaton Jurassic Centre, here is insider knowledge which can only be gained by living in the area.

Contributions from local experts, and colourful and witty writing combined with the authors' enthusiasm, make this guide as much a pleasure to read as an invaluable companion for exploring.

Exeter and the Exe Estuary get a chapter of their own, and parts of Mid Devon, including Tiverton, are covered in detail, along with East Devon's most alluring chunks of countryside and the seaside resorts of Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Beer.

The chapter on West Dorset describes Lyme Regis and Charmouth along with brief descriptions of other coastal towns.

An explanation of the geology of the entire World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast links the whole region.

With an emphasis on car-free travel - walking, cycling and local buses - the detailed descriptions, historical and folk anecdotes, and personal accounts encourage visitors to explore each locale thoroughly.

Hand-picked places to eat and drink, including all the eateries along the main artery of the A3052, are selected by the authors based upon long-standing knowledge of the area.
