✦ Synopsis

Award-winning writer Paul Gogarty's second travelogue is an idiosyncratic, intimate and illuminating snapshot of England and Englishness. Gogarty travels close to 3,000 miles along the coast road in a VW camper van to explore coastal communities. All points of the compass are covered in a journey that covers the Thames estuary, Brighton, the South Coast, the West Country, Liverpool Docks, the Cumbrian ports, the last fishermen of Grimsby and the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts. Gogarty discusses coastal geology and history, and introduces a cast of memorable characters. An exploration of Englishness, this well-researched and evocative journal will tempt even the most ardent armchair traveller, and is an excellent follow-up to 'The Water Road.'
