Adlard Coles Shore Guide: The West Country

Paul Heiney

From the Isles of Scilly to Portland Bill, this handy travel guide to the West Country ensures sailors make the most of every minute ashore.

Arriving ashore somewhere new often raises many questions for even the most experienced sailor: Where are the best anchorages and peaceful places to stop? What are the best routes for walks? How do I keep the family entertained? Where are the best beaches and where can I find laundry facilities? Where can I go for the best cream tea? Sailors need a different kind of pilot guide after arrival and this book is their shore-side companion, helping them to explore and enjoy all the West Country has to offer.

Without doubt, this stretch of coastline is Britain's most popular cruising destination. The West Country offers a rich variety of coastline from the rugged, Atlantic feel of Scilly and Land's End, to the traditional Cornish villages between the Lizard Peninsula and Plymouth harbour. After Start Point, the Devon coastline softens and opens out to offer Dartmouth and the Rivers Dart and Exe working their way far inland to provide a wide array of flat-water cruising. Further east, you'll find the Jurassic coast with broad beaches busy with fossil hunters and places to stop if the weather is on your side.

Illustrated with beautiful photographs and maps, this guide brings together the key information needed for your trip, along with Paul Heiney's brilliant recommendations, all in one handy place, freeing up valuable holiday time.
