Whether you have just an afternoon, a whole day, a free weekend, or a whole week to explore our wonderful country, this book will guide you to 80 of the most interesting, fun and picturesque seaside spots our coast has to offer.

It calls in at exciting seaside towns like Blackpool, Brighton and Newquay, and also invites you to explore the more tranquil coastal stretches, such as Balnakeil, Gower Peninsula and the Lizard.Covering nine coastal regions of Britain, chapters provide insights into the history, culture and key features of each place, how to get to there, where to eat - including the best places for fish and chips, and where to stay.Accompanied by beautiful photography and a handy map, and introduced with an entertaining and evocative Foreword by Ian McMillan, the book will delight families, couples and solo explorers of all ages and with all budgets. We all know there's so much more to explore and enjoy in our beautiful country - this book will help you do just that.
A journey around the best of Britain's coastline...here in the UK we are blessed with a coastline that is staggering in its sheer variety and scale - from secluded coves and inlets, to dramatic headlands and epic, windswept beaches.... It's something that travel writer Peter Naldrett explores with fondness and gusto in his new book Around The Coast in 80 Days. * Yorkshire Post *
A clever and vibrant guide to highlights of the British seaside. Whether your ideal seaside location has amusement arcades, rock and donkey rides or windswept beaches where you can hear the eerie calling of seals, and there's only your footsteps in the wet sand, this is the guide for you. Each entry is accompanied by easily digestible information boxes covering reasons to visit, how to get there and suggestions on where to stay. It's impossible to read this book without beginning to plan new journeys. -- David Schuster * On Yorkshire magazine *
