Bookshop Tours of Britain

To travel by bookshop is to see the best of Britain.Bookshop Tours of Britain is a slow-travel guide to Britain, navigating from bookshop to bookshop. Across 20 bookshop tours, the reader journeys from the Jurassic Coast of south-west England, over the mountains of Wales, through England’s industrial heartland, up to the Scottish Highlands and back via Whitby, the Norfolk Broads, central London, the South Downs and Hardy’s Wessex. On their way, the tours visit beaches, castles, head down coal mines, go to whiskey distilleries, bird watching, hiking, canoeing, to stately homes and the houses of some of Britain’s best-loved historic writers – and last but not least, a host of fantastic bookshops.
