Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British High Roads, Vol. 1: Arranged for the Use of Tourists in Four Parts Since the decline of coaching in this country, consequent upon the perfection of our railway system, there has been comparatively but little use made of our high roads by pleasure seeking tourists. Of late years, however, Bicycling has become such a favourite pursuit, Pedestrianism so very popular, and Coaching so much in vogue with the aristocracy, that it seems more than probable that our main roads and country lanes will soon become as much frequented as in days of yore. We believe, therefore, we are but anticipating a public want in publishing a book of British High Roads, which shall serve as a reliable guide to the tourist. We have spared no labour to make the information contained in it as fresh, accurate, and complete as possible. The special features of the work are, an absolute register of every mile of each route; the direction of every cross-road, with the respective distances of its debouchures; the name of every estate on the way, and their owners, and, when expedient, a description of the place; a detailed account of the objects of interest in each town passed; the whereabouts of the post and telegraph offices, baths, and other public, buildings; the railway fares to London; and a very complete list of hotels and inns, with their tariff of charges.
