Book excerpt: Finally, at last the long awaited sequel to Meandering Pub Walks in Devon the great best seller throughout 2014/2015. This new book also contains ten interesting walks with a blend of very good pubs with their individual style of food, fine ale, cider and good wines. There are the usual ten circular walks all easy to follow with a starting point, type of map and refreshment at their best. To help to get you to the right area again I have included the post code for the Sat Nav; of the pub. Take note of the terrain and type of walk in three different categories easy, moderate or strenuous. The Inns have been selected for good food, ale and the cost to fit nicely in with very good walks. All the walks are length wise between 2 and 5 miles and some of the photos can be seen on You Tube showing the magnificent countryside. Please do not park in the pub car park without receiving the permission of the landlord. The post code can help to find the areas which can be difficult to track down nestling in wild hidden valleys way off the beaten track. In most of the Inns well behaved dogs are very welcome, this is pleasing for dog walkers and it keeps man's best friend also very happy with a drink and the odd snack after a long walk. We are very lucky in Devon the whole area is very beautiful with many places for dogs to walk and run free. I have tried to keep the stile count down but they are mostly dog friendly. Please always remember the water bottles and dog bowls for a well-earned drink after a great day out in the country.
Download or read book Meandering Pub Walks in Devon written by John Coombes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains ten circular walks which vary in distance from 3 miles to 5 miles. The layout explains where to start and park, the type of terrain and what O.S. map to use along with a compass just in case the smartphone or G.P.S fail to work? The countryside is spectacular with views down river estuaries, out to Dartmoor and tranquil secluded spots hidden even from the motor car. The added bonus is that there is a pub some place along the route to give you a cool drink and refreshments. A lot of the pubs are also dog friendly so in the winter they can sit down by the log fire, the only problem is getting them back out on the road. Some of the pubs are very old so it is worth looking back on there history even has far back as the Knights Templar. Set out on the road and take your time to enjoy all the scenery but beware in Devon some of the hills are steep. Check out Denbury with the Iron Hill Fort, Luton, Combeinteignhead, Hennock and North Bovey just to mention a few. Happy Walking.

Download or read book Meandering With Man s Best Friend in Devon written by John Coombes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to help walkers take your dog out to an area that they just might like to go for a change. It contains ten easy to follow walks all of which are circular and varying in distance from 1.5 miles up to 5.5 miles, so this is anything from a quick stroll or onto something just a bit more testing for you not the dog? The dogs are usually easily pleased with a good run, maybe a few sticks and an area with plenty of sniffs the job is very often done. But we walkers are more demanding we like good views, possibly refreshments along the way with an easy to follow trail with few obstacles nearby. The walks are all varied from forest, open fields, green lanes, bridleways and quiet country lanes. Most of these walks dogs are able to come off leads and get that extra bit of exercise that they all require. But unfortunately there are some walks where freedom is not so readily available, this could be due to a road or may be livestock in the fields but for whatever reason please be wise to the Country Code. Remember a dog will ways get excited when you reach and pick-up the lead and they never mind if it is a walk around the block or a route march over the hills. So make the ten circular walks provide a special day out for you and Man's Best Friend out and about together. Treat the dog walks as a stress relieving exercise because 5 minutes out and about you are totally relaxed, which is then transmitted to the dog. This takes you out into different parts of the countryside and maybe you would like to take a picnic just to make the day last a bit longer. Oh do not forget the ball, or the dog towel sure to be water and that means yes it is time to swim (unless you are a Standard Poodle of course). We are very lucky in Devon the whole area is very beautiful with many places for dogs to walk and run free, I have tried to keep the stile count down but they are mostly dog friendly. Please always remember the water bottles and dog bowls for a well-earned drink after a great day out in the country. The walks are different distances so if you have an older dog then take them out on the shorter routes, this makes them feel part of the excitement and fun of a special day for any dog. Happy Walking.

Download or read book The Search for the Perfect Pub written by Paul Moody and published by Orion. This book was released on 2011-11-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by George Orwell, Paul Moody and Robin Turner take a nostalgic road trip around Britain in search of the perfect pub. 'A deeply satisfying travelogue' Stuart Maconie In 1946, George Orwell, a man fond of a pint, wrote about his favourite pub, The Moon Under Water, in his EVENING STANDARD column. But it didn't actually exist. It was Orwell's vision of a perfect pub. Today, Wetherspoons have fourteen Moon Under Waters, and the nation is awash with identikit, high-street lounge bars competing for a dwindling clientele. Paul Moody and Robin Turner's road trip around Britain, therefore, is not just a search for the perfect pub. It is a deeper investigation into what has happened to British pub culture, once the toast of the world. In fact, it is a search for a kind of life-force kindled by the British public, something the powers-that-be are forever trying to extinguish. Along the way, such luminaries as Pete Brown ('the King of Beer'), Tim Martin (Wetherspoon's boss), Iain Sinclair, James Dean Bradfield and Paul Kingsnorth are consulted - along with a host of micro-brewers, landlords, politicians, bloggers and barroom philosophers. What emerges is a picture of the country as seen through a pint glass, a vision that goes to the heart of what it means to be British.

Her father is found dead – the cause, suicide – and her brother has been keeping a secret from her which breaks up their family and shatters the bond between them forever. Edith is forced to start again from scratch. Everything she has dreamed, hoped and planned for seems to have come to nothing.1942. Britain is at war. The Blitz, rationing, food shortages and everything is a struggle. For Edith, living in Bath, there is only one consolation. Bath has not been bombed. She is working as a secretary and living in a small flat that makes her feel safe. But despite not being bombed, Edith has other problems. A young junior secretary in Edith’s office confides that she pregnant and unmarried. An encounter with a grieving widow in a park has a major impact on Edith’s life and changes its course permanently. Then one night the bombs begin to fall...1952. Edith is finally settled. She is now a teacher, has a house and a cottage garden deep in the heart of Wiltshire. But then her peaceful life is shattered when the worst flood Britain has ever suffered strikes her old home in Devon and Edith’s dearest friend is reported missing. Now Edith faces her biggest test yet; she must return to Devon and try to find her friend. When she arrives back home, her past returns to haunt her and the dying days of 1929 begin to replay. As Edith searches for her friend, a dramatic discovery gives her one last chance to lay the past to rest...Edith’s Return to Devon is a gripping work of historical fiction for today’s austerity-driven society that will appeal to all ages and deals with harrowing issues like family break-ups, unplanned pregnancy and issues of sexuality. Daniel Pitt takes inspiration from books by Agatha Christie and Lady Antonia Fraser.
