For half of her lifetime, Hope lived in and around the village of Withypool on the southern side of the Moor. In the late 1960s, at a time of great personal unhappiness, she sought increasing solace in her friends, neighbours and the landscape around her. Finding her daily business restricted to Withypool and its environs, she set about writing a tribute to the place. She recounts a time before mobile phones and the internet had come to dominate daily life, when communication was a gossip over a half-open stable door and wireless meant the radio. She takes the reader around the village, along the river and out again around the parish boundaries, describing people, local events, farms and the changing landscape.

Slow Travel North Devon Exmoor written by Hilary Bradt and has been published by Bradt Travel Guides this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-02-15 with TRAVEL categories.

This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's award-winning North Devon & Exmoor remains the only dedicated general guide to this compelling area. North Devon's relative inaccessibility has been a deterrent to ugly development, and Exmoor National Park is one of the smallest, least well known, and utterly delightful of all national parks. The rugged western cliffs around Hartland Point are the most dramatic in Devon and the cliff-top walking some of the best. New to this edition are several nature reserves which didn't make it into the first edition and more in-depth descriptions of the far western part of Devon abutting the Cornish border. Also included are the Gnome Reserve and the Bakelite Museum - just two of several quirky places in the region - and expanded information on the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel, as well as unique coverage of the whole of Exmoor National Park straddling Devon and Somerset. Particularly intriguing are the many descriptions of country churches, 'the storerooms of history'. The North Devon and Exmoor region is arguably the most scenic in the southwest. No other has this blend of wild rugged coastline, deep river valleys, heather-covered moorland, family-friendly sandy beaches, great surfing and enchanting villages. Some of the prettiest villages in the southwest are found here, with cream teas aplenty. Much information is unique to this guidebook, blending descriptions of little-known places and country pursuits with portraits of local characters, past and present. The guide also places special emphasis on car-free travel, walking, local food, pubs and unusual or special accommodation. Whether you like to spend time exploring National Trust properties, discovering gardens, wildlife watching (Exmoor is home to Britain's largest mammal, the red deer), or indulging in more active pursuits such as coasteering, kayaking or just a gentle pony trek, Bradt's North Devon & Exmoor is the ideal companion for a successful visit.

Hope Bourne, doyenne of Exmoor writers, was fascinated by the history of herhome, its landscape and its people. She published much on the subject, but themost substantial work was A Little History of Exmoor, published in 1968 andnever reprinted.Although not a professional historian, in that book Hope traced - in her customarilyevocative and eminently readable prose - the key developments in Exmoor'slong heritage: the Celtic and Saxon colonisation; the Norman development of theRoyal Forest; the disafforestation and acquisition by the Knight family of a vasttract of the Moor in the nineteenth century; and the advent of the National Parkin the twentieth century. The text was accompanied by a selection of HopeBourne's fine drawings, which further brought to life the key themes of her story.In this entirely re-set version of the book, new generations can now experienceHope's unique interpretation of Exmoor's history, which was tempered andinformed by her direct experience of living the sort of existence that would havebeen familiar to Exmoor dwellers many centuries before.

'I never imagined that the wind would blow me here, to a kind of isolation I have never experienced... There is never anything out here but my shadow, that no one treads on any more' When Jade's partner leaves the barn that they moved into just weeks before, he leaves a dent in the wall and her life unravelled. Numbed from years in a destructive, abusive relationship, she faces an uncertain future and complete solitude. Slowly, with the help of Devon's salted cliffs and damp forested footpaths, Jade comes back to life and discovers the power of being alone. As Jade reacclimatizes, she considers what it means to live alone. Through conversations with other hermits across the world, Fitton sheds light on the myriad - and often misunderstood - ways of living alone: from monks to hikikomori, and the largely ignored female hermit. Jade questions whether hermitic living is possible in an era of constant communication and increased housing costs as she finds herself financially unstable and itinerant. She realises that home doesn't exist within walls, but within the landscape of her childhood home county. Lyrically written, this is an inspirational story of recovery, of finding home, and of celebrating solitude in the natural world.

For more than five decades Hope L. Bourne lived in wild and isolated places on Exmoor, walking many miles to explore its remote fastnesses and making notes and sketches of its wildlife and landscapes. This journal of her impressions, seen through a countrywoman's eye and recorded with a poet's ear, is enhanced by her evocative line drawings of the Exmoor scene.
