Synopsis

Turn Left at the Pub was first published in 1969 as a follow-up to the highly successful Turn Right at the Fountain by the same author, George Oakes. This fully updated edition features a wealth of brand new material by Anton Powell, author of Londonwalks, and takes the reader on leisurely yet educational strolls through some of the best town and country scenery that Britain has to offer. Oxford, Cambridge, and York are included, along with some lovely out of-the-way places such as Tenby, the Cornish fishing village of Solva, and St. David's, a bishop's fortified village, rich in history. Architectural and cultural details that might ordinarily be missed by a visitor are expertly noted here. True to the title, each section also features suggestions on the best pub or restaurant in which to refresh yourself at journey's .
