'Turn to Christopher Somerville's gloriously idiosyncratic guide, and imagine yourself altogether elsewhere' "Sunday Times" Zusammenfassung Storm-battered headlands, hidden waterfalls, tumbledown cottages, the ruins of haunted chapels deep in forgotten woods, medieval Green Men, old mines and quarries being recaptured by nature, rusting sea-forts tottering on sandbanks ... Britain and Ireland are full of wild places, some remote, many often astonishingly close to home.
