In the West Country myth mingles with reality in the numerous traces of King Arthur's kingdom and the legend of Avalon, in the lairs of smugglers and pirates, and in the dramatic ruined castles. The Elizabethan age of overseas discovery and the ensuing expansion of trade were followed by the building of the railway and other developments of the Industrial Revolution. The region features spectacular coastlines and beaches, wild moorland and national parks, lush river valleys and fertile downlands. Set among this varied scenery are historic cities, market towns, seaside resorts and remote fishing villages. Particular treasures include prehistoric henges and standing stones, outstanding historic houses, luxuriant gardens, fine churches and impressive cathedrals. This guide to the west of England is designed specifically for tourists and contains itineraries for varying lengths of visit. Also included are details of local culture, economy, history, geography, architecture and places of interest, as well as practical information.
