Lost Lanes West

Jack Thurston, best-selling author of Lost Lanes (30,000 sold) and presenter of the Bike Show, takes you on a freewheeling tour of the lost lanes and forgotten byways of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire.

• Escape to ancient trackways of Wessex’s chalk downs, passing the prehistoric remains of Avebury, Silbury Hill and Stonehenge.
• Ride traffic free paths along the River Dart, River Camel and River Exe stopping for river swims and picnics in sun-dappled woodlands.
• Climb to the windswept heights of Dartmoor and Exmoor and descend beneath the towering crags of Cheddar Gorge.
• Discover car-free routes through the grand estates of Longleat, Stourhead, Lanhydrock and Ashton Court.

Including beautiful photography, this is the perfect gift for the armchair traveller and cycling adventurer. With downloadable GPX and route guides, and detailed maps, it is highly practical too. Rides graded from easy to challenging, with best pubs and tea stops, wild swims, finest viewpoints and accommodation too.
