Experienced travel writer and cyclist Huw Hennessy takes you on 21 hand-picked bike rides across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. With routes from around an hour up to a full day, Cycling in Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly is ideal for families and leisure cyclists - anyone who wants to get fit and enjoy the fresh air in some of Britain's most beautiful countryside. The rides connect the region's top attractions: beaches, fishing ports, stately homes, nature reserves and heritage sites, including many hidden, lesser-known gems.

Several of the routes interlink or follow a circular loop, allowing more ambitious cyclists to build up more challenging rides. Visit world-famous sites such as Land's End, St Michael's Mount, the Eden Project and the Tresco Abbey subtropical gardens. Follow the Camel Trail, two connecting cycle routes on a disused railway line.

Career around muddy trails in Cardinham Woods. Ride the off-road Pentewan Trail, visiting the Lost Gardens of Heligan en route. Explore the grounds of Lanhydrock, a National Trust property whose wooded trails are perfect for getting the most out of your mountain bike.

But more than just a route-finder, the book is packed with cultural insights and the author's personal tips, gathered from over thirty years' experience. This is country rich with history, folklore and spiritual resonance, and Cycling in Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly encourages you to enjoy the ride at your own pace while showing you what to look out for along the way.

This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Dorset (Slow Travel), Bradt's popular and distinctive guide, offers in-depth exploration of one of England's most popular counties. Author Alexandra Richards, Dorset born and bred, shares local insights to offer a wider, more personal selection of places to explore than any other guide, including attractions known only to locals, who normally keep the county's treasures to themselves. The result encourages you to slow down and appreciate why this county deserves repeat visits.

Dorset is quintessential rural England: rolling hills, thatched houses, winding lanes and stunning stately homes. Enchanting Dorset landscapes described in Thomas Hardy's 19th-century novels are largely unchanged and are likely to remain so given that Dorset enjoys England's highest proportion of conservation areas. The county is trimmed by the spectacular Jurassic Coast (starring locations such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove), England's first natural World Heritage Site, whose cliffs are continuously revealing their prehistoric, fossilised secrets.

History buffs, meanwhile, will love innumerable sites of archaeological interest, including Britain's largest Iron Age hillfort, Maiden Castle. Practical information covers where and what to eat, where and what to see, and how to get around. This fourth edition: integrates recent changes across the county; covers additional villages in north Dorset; celebrates child-friendly activities; introduces local food and drink producers, artisans and community projects; and suggests new walks.

Discover Dorset's award-winning vodka made from milk; discover what really goes on at the Filly Loo Festival; challenge your tastebuds at the Great Dorset Chilli Festival; hunt fossils on beaches featured in the biopic film Ammonite, where Kate Winslet portrays world-famous palaeontologist Mary Anning; learn where never to say the word 'rabbits' (and why); discover the Lyme Regis rubber duck race; and get to grips with the fabulous Dorset dialect. Whatever your interest, be it local food, tours of award-winning wineries, horseriding, relaxing on award-winning beaches or spectacular coastal hikes, Dorset (Slow Travel) remains the essential companion guide for both enjoying the obvious sites and getting off the beaten track to understand what really makes this gorgeous, varied county tick.

The United Kingdom may be geographically small, but it is so packed with touristic sites that it needs to be broken down into logical units to be manageable. This is the first of several maps we will be publishing of England at 1:250,000 scale, covering Southeast England from Dover to Southampton north to Luton on Side 1 and from Colchester to Coventry north to Sheffield and Boston; essentially all of SE England from the Channel to Derbyshire and west to the Isle of Wight.

Even at this scale, there is only room to show major attractions without creating clutter. Both road and rail routes are clearly shown, with rapid-rail routes shown in red. This latter feature is not included on most other maps, an one notes with a bit of surprise that this part of England has more such routes than is generally believed to exist. We travelled on one of these trains during our recent visit to the UK (albeit from Newcastle to Edinburgh) and they are quite an improvement! Whether by train or by road, all options are shown. Whether one wishes to visit Hever Castle in Kent or Winchester cathedral, or the university cities of Cambridge or Oxford, this is an ideal map for exploring one of the most touristic corners of Europe.

The shape of the UK makes it difficult to map logically. The term South East, within crowded England, is generally more restrictive than is appropriate for a map. Our definition of SE is from the English Channel north to the northern tip of East Anglia and west to Portsmouth/Reading/Peterborough. This occupies side one of the sheet. Side two consists of that complex portion of England generally called ‘The Midlands’ stretching from Cambridge/Peterborough west to the Welsh border and from Luton/Gloucester north to Manchester/Grimsby. London is, of course, prominent, but only as a main roads map.

This is the most recent sectional map of the UK that ITMB has published, and was necessitated by the realization that, to see England properly, one needs a detailed enough map to show rail lines, motorways, A-type highways and B-type secondary roads, but also the tertiary level of road joining villages. The road network of England is incredibly complex and cannot be shown in proper detail without mapping at this scale or better. England also has a sophisticated rail network and this is left off most maps to avoid clutter. We have emphasized all the rail lines carrying passengers, which makes the London portion look like a spaghetti factory, but there are lines everywhere. All motorways and highways are shown, but rail lines are prominently shown, to encourage travel by train. A Top Attractions list has been included as well, but hundreds of interesting touristic sites have been included.

Balmoral Estate has been a royal residence since Queen Victoria's reign, while Aberdeenshire - with its unique language, Doric - has Scotland's highest density of castles and numerous Pictish stone circles among an astounding 30,000 sites of historical and archaeological interest.
