This new, sixth edition of Bradt's Montenegro is the most comprehensive guide available to one of Europe's hidden corners and features many areas not covered by other guides.

With new flight routes opening up and the tourist board working hard to promote the country, Montenegro's popularity is on the rise. The Via Dinarica and Balkan Peaks long-distance trails both pass through Montenegro and are drawing ever greater numbers, while adventure sports - climbing, skiing, mountain biking, sea kayaking, coasteering, and white-water rafting, to name a few - form an increasingly significant part of the country's appeal.

Part of Bradt's distinctive, award-winning series of 'Slow' travel guides to UK regions, the new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's Somerset (Slow Travel) celebrates this charming, popular English county. Expert travel writer and local resident Norm Longley blends visitor information, history, culture and anecdote with coverage of wildlife, birdwatching, walking, cycling and other outdoor activities, making this guide perfect for visitors and locals alike. Accommodation and restaurants - plus local food and cider - feature prominently: Longley himself often spends weekends 'roaming the Somerset countryside in search of exciting and/or novel things to do - or at the very least, hunting down good food and drink'.Somerset is consistently seductive: windswept marshes and wild moorland, enchanting uplands and iron-flat lowlands, limestone gorges and a forty-mile long stretch of coast with rocky coves, fossil-filled cliffs and a tiny island. And, of course, there's Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage city with beautifully preserved Roman baths, graceful Georgian architecture and enticing gastronomic possibilities. Bradt's Somerset (Slow Travel) explores all this and more, from the world-famous Glastonbury Festival to the American Museum and Gardens, carnivals to quirky local customs, the longest heritage railway in Britain to England's first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Somerset Levels feature, as do the Quantock and Blackdown Hills, the coast, and east and south Somerset. There's a seasoning of legend and myth too, from King Arthur at Avalon and Camelot to the country's third-largest complex of standing stones at Stanton Drew. Divided into seven easy-to-explore geographical regions, from Bath and north Somerset through Wells and the Mendips to Exmoor National Park and International Dark Sky Reserve, this is an indispensable companion for everyone from culture devotees to outdoor adventurers, birders to beach lovers, transport enthusiasts to event-goers, families to foodies. As well as being extensively updated throughout, this new edition features an expanded selection of walking itineraries, details of Crewkerne and Chard, deeper coverage of local produce (including cheese), and wider treatment of wildlife, arts, culture, history and wet-weather activities. The result provides an entertaining armchair read alongside a practical guide to exploring this rewarding county.

This new, seventh edition of Bradt's Montenegro is the longest and most detailed guidebook available to one of Europe's hidden corners - an increasingly accessible country whose stark, rugged beauty comprises some of the continent's most exciting coastlines and wildest mountain scenery, complemented by tiny fishing villages, lively beach resorts and small historic towns, all in an area smaller than Yorkshire.With new flight routes, the tourist board working hard to promote the country, considerable investment in infrastructure (notably the Bar-Belgrade motorway) and European Union membership fast approaching (expected 2028), Montenegro's popularity is on the rise. The country's dramatic interior boasts high peaks, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, deep forests and mighty canyons, while the magnificent Lake Skadar is the Balkan's largest inland water body. The Via Dinarica and Balkan Peaks long-distance trails both pass through Montenegro and are drawing increasing numbers of hikers, while adventure sports - climbing, skiing, mountain biking, ziplining, sea kayaking, coasteering and white-water rafting, to name a few - form an increasingly significant part of the country's appeal. Montenegrin wine, too, is attracting a growing band of devotees, while beaches such as Mogren and Petrovac rank among the Adriatic's finest. Published in the year that Montenegro celebrates the 20th anniversary of its independence from Serbia, this new edition of Bradt's Montenegro has been thoroughly updated by Philip Briggs, one of the world's most experienced and prolific guidebook writers. It incorporates all major recent developments, from practical information on where to go, stay and eat to vivid descriptions, historical insights and in-depth background on both well-known and off-the-beaten track sights. It offers details of everything from coastal retreats, the Buljarica wetlands and Ulcinj saltpans to Durmitor and Biogradska national parks, the Prokletije Mountains to cultural big-hitters such as Cetinje and Kotor, and the new Kotor to Lovcen National Park cable car to medieval architectural gems, plus numerous reminders of Montenegro's Ottoman and Venetian heritage.
