Wild Britain : A Traveller’s Guide

Description

It conveys the excitement of walking in wild places; the feel of the wind on your face; the water loud, lush-green and dapple-shaded Dartmoor streams and the thud of the gale-swept Atlantic rollers as they batter the granite battlements of the North Devon and Cornish Cliffs.
