Summary

"Wild Britain" is both a comprehensive guidebook and a personal introduction to the last outposts of wilderness in England, Scotland and Wales. It conveys the excitement of walking in wild places, the water-loud, lush-green and dapple-shaded Dartmoor streams and the thud of the gale-swept Atlantic rollers as they batter the granite battlements of the North Devon and Cornish Cliffs.
