Book Synopsis Coastlines by : Patrick Barkham
Download or read book Coastlines written by Patrick Barkham. This book was released on 2015-04-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told through a series of walks beside the sea, this is a story of the most beautiful 742 miles of coastline in England, Wales and Northern Ireland: their rocks, plants and animals, their views, walks and history, and the people who have made their lives within sight of the waves. As he travels along coastal paths, visits beaches and explores coves, Barkham reflects on the long campaign to protect our shoreline from tidal erosion and human damage and weaves together fascinating tales about every aspect of the coast - from ancient conquests and smuggler's routes, to exotic migratory birds and bucket-and-spade holidays - to tell a more profound story about our island nation and the way we are shaped by our shores.

Book Synopsis The Fabled Coast by : Sophia Kingshill
Download or read book The Fabled Coast written by Sophia Kingshill. This book was released on 2012-06-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirates and smugglers, ghost ships and sea-serpents, fishermen’s prayers and sailors’ rituals – the coastline of the British Isles plays host to an astonishingly rich variety of local legends, customs, and superstitions. In The Fabled Coast, renowned folklorists Sophia Kingshill and Jennifer Westwood gather together the most enthralling tales and traditions, tracing their origins and examining the facts behind the legends. Was there ever such a beast as the monstrous Kraken? Did a Welsh prince discover America, centuries before Columbus? What happened to the missing crew of the Mary Celeste? Along the way, they recount the stories that are an integral part of our coastal heritage, such as the tale of Drake’s Drum, said to be heard when England was in peril, and the mythical island of Hy Brazil, which for centuries appeared on sea charts and maps to the west of Ireland. The result is an endlessly fascinating, often surprising journey through our island history.

Download or read book The Countryside of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland written by . This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the National Trust was founded in 1895, its remit was to preserve places of historic interest or natural beauty. The first property to be given to the infant organization was four and a half acres of coastland overlooking Cardigan Bay in Wales. When one of the National Trust's founders, Octavia Hill, heard of this gift, she noted: "We have got our first piece of property, I wonder if it will be our last." It would have been beyond her wildest dreams to know that today the Trust looks after over 240,000 hectares of beautiful countryside and 550 miles of outstanding coast. This superbly illustrated book celebrates these places of natural beauty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Join three of Britain's leading landscape photographers in a tour of stunning country side.
