Synopsis

Crossbill Guides is a series of attractively produced nature travel guides on major European natural areas. This new title in the Crossbill Guides series covers the well-known region of Dordogne in southwestern France. Like all other Crossbill Guides, this title poses and answers two key questions: what makes this area so special and how you can experience this uniqueness for yourself. This book describes the flora and fauna, landscape and traditional land use of this region plus 21 detailed routes and around 50 sites with specific suggestions on where and how to find the birds, wildlife and flora. The Dordogne area in south-west France has a remarkable range of wild landscapes. The beautiful rivers include tidal sections, marshes, cliffs and upland tributary streams set amongst limestone-dominated hills. Elsewhere diverse woodlands, hay meadows, caves, heathlands, arable plateaux plus ancient vineyards and villages also offer visitors great wildlife experiences in what has been called 'the cradle of mankind'.

About this title

Review:

These guides are a splendid acquisition for any trip --Derek Moore, British Birds

Crossbill Guides main focus is an exploration of ecology, landscape and human history and conservation. This is the key strength of the Crossbill Guides and it is what places them head and shoulders over conventional 'site guides' --Andy Stoddart
