Covering Monmouthshire, Glamorgan, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Brecon Beacons National Park, this guide provides in-depth coverage of a broad range of attractions. Catering for walkers, heritage aficionados, wildlife lovers, families, mountain bikers, foodies and city-lovers, it furnishes all the practical information you need to plan and enjoy time in South Wales.The region boasts 400 miles of coastline, along which some of Britain's finest beaches nestle between comely resorts and traditional fishing villages, including in the dramatic Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Inland, The Valleys encompass a former powerhouse of the British coal-mining industry where abandoned collieries have become thriving tourist attractions in a World Heritage landscape. Alternatively, enjoy peace and quiet in the Brecon Beacons, one of few British International Dark Sky Reserves, characterised by high peaks, wild moorland and thrashing waterfalls. From here, mountains extend east to the renowned book town of Hay-on-Wye. In South Wales, you can embrace history, landscape and culture in quick succession.Hikers come from all over to walk the Wales Coast Path, the first footpath worldwide to extend the entire length of a country's coastline. Bike Park Wales in Merthyr is Britain's leading mountain-bike centre, while St David's Peninsula offers thrilling coasteering and the Gower Peninsula exciting surfing. The region's special wildlife ranges from puffins and deer on offshore islands to porpoises and dolphins powering across sheltered bays. Urbanites will love the Welsh capital of Cardiff, fast becoming one of Britain's most dynamic cities, following exciting regeneration crowned by the Millennium Centre.

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.

The new Bradt Shetland guidebook is the first full-length guide from a major travel publisher to focus exclusively and in depth on this fascinating northern Scottish archipelago. Lying closer to the Arctic Circle than it does Manchester (and closer to Norway than to the UK mainland), Shetland is a natural and historical treasure-trove, famed for its archaeological sites, seabird colonies and Viking-infused heritage.In an archipelago where nowhere is more than 3 miles from the sea, the new Bradt Shetland guidebook covers all 16 inhabited islands plus several that are uninhabited but still accessible to visitors. The largest island - called Mainland, confusingly - is crammed with places worth exploring:.Lerwick, a traditional fishing port, is Shetland's capital;.The puffin-flanked cliffs of Sumburgh Head host Shetland's southernmost lighthouse;.Remarkable archaeological sites include Jarlshof and the Iron Age settlement of Mousa Broch;.West Mainland harbours some of Scotland's most enticing coastal scenery, while the north's moorland and lochs sees Shetland at most raw. Other islands featured in the new Bradt Shetland guidebook offer unique experiences. A traffic-free nature reserve, Noss has one of Britain's greatest seabird colonies. Out Skerries attract divers to explore the wreck-strewn coastline. Sea alone separates Unst's stunning, deserted beaches from the Arctic Circle. Fair Isle, a dot in the sea between Mainland and the Orkney archipelago, is famed for knitwear, while Foula is Britain's most remote inhabited island.Few UK destinations boast the variety of outdoor pursuits available in Shetland, and without the crowds. Some 1,700 miles of coastline call for kayaking, canoeing or coasteering. Hikers can choose from 19 hills called 'Marilyns'. Wildlife watchers can enjoy orca pods, Europe's highest density of otters, rare shorebirds like red-necked phalarope, and two of the UK's largest gannet colonies. Alternatively, take things easier by enjoying the simmer dim (summer's midnight sun) or the aurora borealis (northern lights), or go cultural by attending the Shetland Folk Festival, the fire ceremony of Up Helly Aa, or by retracing the steps of Jimmy Perez, detective in the BBC crime series Shetland. Whatever your interest, the new Bradt Shetland guidebook has it covered.

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 Balkans' largest inland water body. The Via Dinarica and Peaks of the Balkans 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 Gora 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. Whether you are a beach lover, hiker, adrenaline-seeker, birding and wildlife enthusiast or foodie, and whether you are travelling in a group or independently, Bradt's Montenegro provides the consummate companion for your visit.

Covering Monmouthshire, Glamorgan, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Brecon Beacons National Park, this guide provides in-depth coverage of a broad range of attractions. Catering for walkers, heritage aficionados, wildlife lovers, families, mountain bikers, foodies and city-lovers, it furnishes all the practical information you need to plan and enjoy time in South Wales.The region boasts 400 miles of coastline, along which some of Britain's finest beaches nestle between comely resorts and traditional fishing villages, including in the dramatic Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Inland, The Valleys encompass a former powerhouse of the British coal-mining industry where abandoned collieries have become thriving tourist attractions in a World Heritage landscape. Alternatively, enjoy peace and quiet in the Brecon Beacons, one of few British International Dark Sky Reserves, characterised by high peaks, wild moorland and thrashing waterfalls. From here, mountains extend east to the renowned book town of Hay-on-Wye. In South Wales, you can embrace history, landscape and culture in quick succession.Hikers come from all over to walk the Wales Coast Path, the first footpath worldwide to extend the entire length of a country's coastline. Bike Park Wales in Merthyr is Britain's leading mountain-bike centre, while St David's Peninsula offers thrilling coasteering and the Gower Peninsula exciting surfing. The region's special wildlife ranges from puffins and deer on offshore islands to porpoises and dolphins powering across sheltered bays. Urbanites will love the Welsh capital of Cardiff, fast becoming one of Britain's most dynamic cities, following exciting regeneration crowned by the Millennium Centre. Wales is nicknamed the Land of the Castles, with more fortifications per square mile than any European country: South Wales boasts twenty where your imagination can run riot. Unexpected treats gather here too: visit Europe's second-tallest sand dune (The Big Dipper in Merthyr Mawr), the UK's smallest city (St David's), or even vineyards and whisky distilleries.Whether you are an adrenaline-seeker or culture-lover, a wildlife watcher or beach-goer, foodie or hiker, discover South Wales with Bradt's comprehensive guide.

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.

The new Bradt Shetland guidebook is the first full-length guide from a major travel publisher to focus exclusively and in depth on this fascinating northern Scottish archipelago. Lying closer to the Arctic Circle than it does Manchester (and closer to Norway than to the UK mainland), Shetland is a natural and historical treasure-trove, famed for its archaeological sites, seabird colonies and Viking-infused heritage.In an archipelago where nowhere is more than 3 miles from the sea, the new Bradt Shetland guidebook covers all 16 inhabited islands plus several that are uninhabited but still accessible to visitors. The largest island - called Mainland, confusingly - is crammed with places worth exploring:.Lerwick, a traditional fishing port, is Shetland's capital;.The puffin-flanked cliffs of Sumburgh Head host Shetland's southernmost lighthouse;.Remarkable archaeological sites include Jarlshof and the Iron Age settlement of Mousa Broch;.West Mainland harbours some of Scotland's most enticing coastal scenery, while the north's moorland and lochs sees Shetland at most raw. Other islands featured in the new Bradt Shetland guidebook offer unique experiences. A traffic-free nature reserve, Noss has one of Britain's greatest seabird colonies. Out Skerries attract divers to explore the wreck-strewn coastline. Sea alone separates Unst's stunning, deserted beaches from the Arctic Circle. Fair Isle, a dot in the sea between Mainland and the Orkney archipelago, is famed for knitwear, while Foula is Britain's most remote inhabited island.Few UK destinations boast the variety of outdoor pursuits available in Shetland, and without the crowds. Some 1,700 miles of coastline call for kayaking, canoeing or coasteering. Hikers can choose from 19 hills called 'Marilyns'. Wildlife watchers can enjoy orca pods, Europe's highest density of otters, rare shorebirds like red-necked phalarope, and two of the UK's largest gannet colonies. Alternatively, take things easier by enjoying the simmer dim (summer's midnight sun) or the aurora borealis (northern lights), or go cultural by attending the Shetland Folk Festival, the fire ceremony of Up Helly Aa, or by retracing the steps of Jimmy Perez, detective in the BBC crime series Shetland. Whatever your interest, the new Bradt Shetland guidebook has it covered.

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 Balkans' largest inland water body. The Via Dinarica and Peaks of the Balkans 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 Gora 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. Whether you are a beach lover, hiker, adrenaline-seeker, birding and wildlife enthusiast or foodie, and whether you are travelling in a group or independently, Bradt's Montenegro provides the consummate companion for your visit.
