Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. This full-updated 2nd edition is the only title available to cover the Chilterns and Thames Valley in depth. The Chilterns and the Thames Valley do not correspond to the specific boundaries of one county or region, old or new. Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire all have a share. Divided into six easily manageable sections, Bradt's Chilterns and Thames Valley lifts the lid on what makes this area so distinctive. Chalk grasslands, beech woods, streams and wooded valleys provide a perfect landscape for walking and are easily accessible from London. About half of the area has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the closest such area to London. Rare plants such as fleawort and numerous orchid varieties, and birds including red kites, lapwings and skylark flourish. The Thames Valley follows the route of one of the world's most famous rivers. You can find key sites of monarchical and parliamentary power such as Windsor Castle and Chequers, the location of Magna Carta's sealing at Runnymede and the birthplaces of men and women who have led dissent down the ages. A host of well-loved authors has lived and written here, depicting Paradise, defining our childhoods and painting timeless images of England and its people. Eminent chefs own restaurants with national and sometimes international reputations. In short, the Chilterns and the Thames Valley together represent a wonderfully paradoxical mixture of world-famous tourist sites and lesser-known attractions full of quirkiness and character, which will repay the visitor's interest and attention many times over. From Windsor Castle to Whipsnade Zoo, Britain's oldest road - The Ridgeway - to National Trust properties such as Cliveden and Waddesdon, the Henley Regatta to the Grand Union Canal, Bradt's Chilterns and Thames Valley is the perfect companion. AUTHORS: Helen and Neil Matthews are the authors of Bradt's Slow Travel: Chilterns & Thames Valley and Heritage Weekends: 52 breaks exploring Britain's past. They have lived in the village of Prestwood, in the heart of the Chilterns, for over 30 years. Helen, who is Chilterns born and bred, spent 25 years as a university administrator and manager. She is the Chair (and a founder member) of a local conservation charity and a member of the Chiltern Society's Heritage Group. Neil, originally from London, is a marketer specialising in not-for-profit sectors. Both hold PhDs in history. Pen & Sword has published Helen's The Legitimacy of Bastards: the place of illegitimate children in later medieval England (2019) and Neil's Victorians and Edwardians abroad: the beginning of the modern holiday (2016). 90 colour phoos, 19 maps Chilterns and Thames Valley Slow Travel guide.
