Coastal Capers - Walking the Yorkshire Coast Path (History Walks 6-10)

By Paul Amess

Paul and Rob take to the paths of England once again in the latest installment of the History Walks series of books. This time they are tackling the delights of the wild and beautiful Yorkshire Coast Path, from Spurn Point in the south, all the way to Teesmouth in the north, following the course of possibly the fastest eroding coastline in the world. Along the way they are once more learning all about the history of the places they pass through, discovering links to pirates and smugglers, explorers and princes, and lots more besides. Battles and shipwrecks galore, along with unlikely tales of piers and railways, spies and more, including the town that never was, and a prince with a taste for the ladies, as well as secret military bases almost everyehere. With more history than you could possibly imagine, this unlikely walk turns out to be one of the most interesting yet, and that's before we've even thought about the lost villages and the sunken forests, and, of course, the two idiots doing the walk. With questions cropping up such as who was Gertrude of Arabia anyway, and why was there a woman called John, as well as what on earth was Biggles doing in Yorkshire, this is sure to be a fascinating journey. Read on to find out more . . . Paul has completed many long distance footpaths throughout the UK, and his previous adventures include Hadrian's Wall Path: A Walk Through History, Rambling On: Lost on the Cleveland Way, Coast to Coast: Finding Wainwright's England , and many more besides. It should be noted that he does spend most of his time lost.
