Way Out West is a guide to the hidden gems of the South West. Step inside and discover the marvellously unusual museums, intriguing architecture, quirky attractions and all-round oddities of Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Way Out West is the third book in the bestselling Nothing To See Here series of travel guides. Unlike its predecessors, it happened almost by accident when a simple trip to North Cornwall – never designed to eke out the brilliant and the bizarre – unearthed a collection of unexpected treasures of such wealth and scope that a third volume became inevitable.
 
Sometimes wonderful things find you, and stumbling across places like the Hawker’s Hut, Barometer World and the Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft proved that this intriguing part of the country could easily fill a book with its unusual and sometimes well-hidden attractions.
 
Further expeditions followed and the result is this collection that celebrates the less-than-ordinary destinations in the counties of Devon, Dorset and Somerset, as well as in Cornwall. It’s a particularly beautiful part of the world, full of enchanting scenery, fascinating history and buckets of charm. Travellers should note that the narrow roads and relaxed pace of life can mean it takes a while to get anywhere around these parts, so take your time to savour the joys of the West Country.

Norfolk is the fourth largest county in England and one of the most rural. It is also one of the flattest and our circular routes have been chosen to explore the quiet lanes linking the isolated and picturesque villages and places of interest. This is ideal cycling territory and fortunately, the Norfolk County Council (and its District Councils) are seriously committed in providing and developing cycling routes and in promoting a cycling culture that is sustainable and family friendly. Some of their routes are illustrated, hitherto.
 
The County has been described as flat (rather gentle undulations) and does not in fact rise much over 300 feet, but it offers great scenic interest; the dark forests of Breckland, the rolling chalk lands of the northwest, the unique watery patch of the Broads, and a coastline of great variety. Ancient churches and picturesque villages are there in abundance, the latter often decorated with the attractive signs designed by Harry Carter in the 1950’s.
 
Recommended Routes/Trails
 
National Cycle Network (NCN) & Regional Routes
 
This is a linked series of traffic-free paths and traffic-calmed roads being developed across the UK linking town centres and the countryside.  The so-named route numbers do not always join up as the overall planned route has not been completed and sometimes they overlap with other routes. www.sustrans.org.uk 
 
The following NCN routes cross Norfolk:-
 
NCN Route 1. 
 
Hull to Harwich. A 370 mile route passing Cathedral cities, towns and villages through pastoral countryside. Connects Norwich to Fakenham and King’s Lynn. Mainly on road but does use the Marriott’s Way. Links with Norfolk Coast Cycleway at Wighton (E1) and with NCN 13 at Gateley (F4).
 
NCN Routes 13. 
 
Dereham to Thetford. A 30 mile route passes through the distinctive Breckland landscape of mid-Norfolk. Follows minor roads joining the Peddars Way between Wretham (E9) and Pockthorpe (E8). Route through Dereham has been resurfaced and improvements north of Thetford are planned, as is a route south from Thetford.
 
 Regional Routes
 
1. Norfolk Coast Cycleway NCN 30. A fine route running inland away from the busy coast road. It affords spectacular views; dramatic scenery, endless skies and much birdlife. Originally 59 miles from Cromer to King’s Lynn, now with 39 mile extension to Great Yarmouth. Careful between Sea Palling and Great Yarmouth but be prepared to take alternative route walking beside the River Thurne between Potter Heigham and Martham.

London has many rivers, but they are often hidden under centuries of development. Rivers like the Walbrook, the Fleet or the Westbourne have left their mark on the city, and still form an important part of our subterranean world. David Fathers traces the course of twelve hidden rivers in a series of detailed guided walks, illustrating the traces they have left and showing the ways they have shaped the city.
 
Each walk starts at the tube or rail station nearest to the source of the river, and then follows it down to the Thames through parkland, suburbia, historic neighbourhoods and the vestiges of our industrial past. Along the way there are encounters with such extraordinary Londoners as William Blake, Judy Garland, Paul Robeson, Terence Donovan, Bradley Wiggins, Nelson, Lenin, Freud, and the great Victorian engineer Joseph Bazalgette. Hidden Rivers of London contains over 120 km of walks, both north and south of the Thames.
 
Winding through the hills, valleys and marshes that underlie the city, every page is a revelation.

icilië, eiland in het hart van de Middellandse Zee. Hier komen werelden samen en zijn culturen verworven tot een uniek geheel. Het ongerepte landschap is een stille getuige van een ongelofelijk rijk verleden dat wij terugzien in de sporen van de Griekse, Romeinse (en oudere) beschavingen, in de kunst en architectuur waarmee Arabieren en Normanna het eiland verrijkten. 
 
Op de markten, in de steegjes, in de keuken. De wortels van hoofdstad gaan terug naar de Feniciërs in de 8e eeuw  voor Christus - als één stad zich een smeltkroes mag noemen, laat het dan Palermo zijn. De Etna spreekt al eeuwen tot de verbeelding. De majestueuze Siciliaanse Barok pronkt in de Val di Noto in het zuiden. Zoveel lagen, uit alle windrichtingen, van over drie zeeën - dit eiland laat zich niet gemakkelijk vatten. Maar geef haar de kans en je zult voor haar vallen. Dat is de kunst van Sicilië.

This guide describes a 1061km cycle route that starts at source of the Loire in the Massif Central mountains of central France and finishes at the Atlantic opposite St Nazaire. The route goes through the heart of France as the Loire becomes the royal river, bounded by extravagant châteaux, fields of Charolais cattle and vineyards. It passes through historic cities like Orléans and Tours, continuing past Angers and France's fourth largest city Nantes.
The 1061km Loire Cycle Route starts at the source of the River Loire in the Massif Central mountains of central France and finishes at the Atlantic opposite St Nazaire. It descends past extinct volcanoes, crater lakes and deep gorges before joining EuroVelo route 6, followed by the fully waymarked Loire à Vélo, France's most popular cycle trail. Following the river downstream in 26 stages, the route is generally downhill or level, often on dedicated traffic-free cycle tracks.
 
Packed with a wealth of useful information - from practical planning advice to fascinating insights about the river and its surroundings - the guidebook features detailed route descriptions and informative mapping. Details of facilities and places to stay, and a French glossary, are also included.

Seasons

The whole route can be cycled when the mountains near the source are snow free, usually April-October. Stages 7-26 can be cycled at any time of year, though April-October is the best period.

Centres

The route passes through Le-Puy-en-Velay, Roanne, Nevers, Orléans, Tours, Saumur, Angers, Nantes and St Nazaire.

Difficulty

Apart from a steep 1000m climb to reach the start and a few ascents and descents in the first six stages this is a straightforward route that is generally downhill or level. Mostly asphalt surfaces in good condition suitable for hybrid or touring cycles. Much of the route follows dedicated off-road cycle tracks, suitable for family cycling, though there are a few short sections where main roads are used.

Must See

Mont Gerbier de Jonc and the volcanic hills of the Ardèche, Le Puy-en-Velay, Charolais hills. After Nevers the route follows La Loire à Vélo, France's most popular cycleway, passing many of the royal châteaux (Chambord, Blois, Chaumont, Villandry, Amboise), vineyards (Sancerre, Touraine, Chinon, Saumur, Anjou, Muscadet), and historic cities (Orléans, Tours, Angers, Nantes) of the Loire Valley.
