Claim on the Countryside
Author: Taylor Harvey Taylor
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 1474473075
Category : Great Britain
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The last century has seen a dramatic increase in ramblers, mountaineers, cyclists and hill walkers enjoying the British countryside. This remarkable book charts the history of the outdoor movement from its late Victorian origins to its present status. Harvey Taylor describes how the active participants in the movement combined to create a loosely constructed entity, held together by common areas of interest and shared campaigning concerns. From the formation of Footpath Protection Societies and the development of a Countryside Access campaign in the inter-war years, he emphasises that the movement was very much more than just a 'craze' or a reaction against creeping industrialisation and urbanisation as was portrayed at the time. This is a fascinating introduction to a particularly British recreational phenomenon.

Southern Rambles for Londoners
Author: S P B Mais
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 178366021X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
1948: with post-war Britain's sense 'dulled by traffic and by bombs', this pocket-sized book was a clarion call for readers to rediscover the beauties of the idyllic English countryside. Published by Southern Railways, it recounts the joys of listening to birdsong, picking whortleberries, gazing at the clouds and 'being genial' in the bars of tiny village inns – experiences that had been obscured by war, deprivation and the bus and train journeys that suburbanisation had brought. Offering twenty real country walks around Surrey and Kent, this guide reveals where the 1940s rambler would be 'most likely to find quietude and loveliness' – as well as the best cakes!

Book Description
Excerpt from Marsh Country Rambles It is fortunate that all ramblers are not writers, or life would be too brief for the perusal of even their best reminiscences. Perhaps this addition to the literature of walking tours can only be excused on the plea that life is kaleidoscopic, lending itself, readily enough, to infinitely varied presentation. Men write of their rambles, as of their reading, again and again each views such pleasures from his own standpoint; each has his story to tell, and cannot believe that it has been told before.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
