The third in the Lost Lanes series of cycling guidebooks is a celebration of cycling the West Country of England, taking in Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset & Avon, Devon and Cornwall. It takes the form of 30 original guided rides and six fantastic organised rides, with detailed ride descriptions, evocative photography and comprehensive online resources including GPX files for GPS navigators and smartphone apps and turn-by-turn route sheets. The rides include cycling across the wilds of Salisbury Plain to Stonehenge and Avebury, the contrasting landscapes of the Mendips and Somerset Levels, the narrow winding lanes of Exmoor and and Dartmoor, and breathtaking rides along the Cornish coast and around the Isle of Purbeck. The circular rides range from 40km to 105km and can all be done in a day, split over two days or linked together into longer, multi-day tours. There are recommendations for pubs, cafes and places to stay overnight, from boutique hotels to wild camping spots.
