Über den Autor / die Autorin
A seasoned travel writer, Huw Hennessy is also a lifelong cycling nut, never happier than when he's out on his Nigel Dean road bike, or battered old Raleigh workhorse. Since childhood he has pedalled at every opportunity - from Paris to the Loire Valley upon leaving school, and even exploring the ancient Thai cities of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai on rusty old boneshakers in 2022. Since moving to Devon in 2004, he has cycled all over southwest England, giving him ample inspiration to write his Bradt guide Cycling in Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly, and has completed the Nello (a 100-mile fundraising ride for cancer charity FORCE) eight times in ten years. His two-wheeled explorations also cover East Anglia, resulting his Bradt book Cycling in East Anglia. He has jumped into the saddle once again, cycling back lanes, forest trails and coastal paths to write Cycling in Northumbria. He lives in Dorset, UK.
