The English West Country is a land of exceptional landscapes: many miles of wild, unspoilt coastline and vast expanses of wild moorland; great cities such as Exeter, Plymouth, Bath and Bristol; and market towns, villages and hamlets. Farming, mining, quarrying, fishing and trade are the traditional industries of the counties of Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. On one level, the West Country is the most English of all English regions, home of clotted cream, thatch, church spires, folksong, hobby horses and Cecil Sharp. Yet the area was trading with Mediterranean Europe before the Romans. For many years Bristol was the centre of the slave trade, and many of its great mansions were built on the proceeds of slavery. Great swathes of land in Dorset, Wiltshire and Devon are still used by the military and are off-bounds to visitors. And within the West Country is the special case of Celtic Cornwall, and the even more remote Isles of Scilly. People lived in the West Country long before Britain, or England, were invented. From the great stone circles of Avebury and Stonehenge in Wiltshire to the menhirs of Cornwall, and the wealth of prehistoric remains on the Isles of Scilly, this has always been an inhabited landscape, crafted by men and women working closely with nature and natural forces. John Payne explores this culturally rich and varied region, revealing many facets of its distinctive and much-loved identity.

Excerpt from The Heart of the West: A Book of the West Country From Bristol to Land's End This book is not intended to be a guide-book, nor is it exactly a chronicle of travel. As a guide-book it has many omissions, the more glaring of which I may as well point out myself, and thus forestall criticism. To neglect almost the whole of south Somerset, including Yeovil, Ilchester, Ilminster, the Cadbury that may be Camelot and the Montacute that has so fine a manor-house - to omit Seaton and Sidmouth and Ottery from a treatment of Devon - would be shortcomings, were it not for the fact that these districts are dealt with in another volume of the series of which this book forms a part. But my aim has been to give a presentment of the West Country as a whole, within moderate compass, in a series of central pictures rather than in full detail; I have wished to be true in the spirit while not false, though certainly incomplete, in the letter. For convenience of treatment I have chosen to proceed from east to west, starting from Bristol to St. Ives on the north, from Exeter to Land's End on the south. There are thus two main itineraries, with one necessary digression - a digression that takes in Dartmoor and thus includes the most interesting district of mid-Devon.
