Slow Sussex
Slow Sussex & the South Downs National Park - Published by Bradt & Alistair SawdayPerhaps if Jerome K Jerome had published guidebooks instead of novels, he might have written books like these. Motorways are ignored, short cuts are not welcome, and speed is an anathema. Boats, bikes, shanks pony and steam trains are the preferred forms of travel, though cars, buses and trains are allowed. Accommodation is chosen for its character and service rather than proximity to airports, and restaurants are decent pubs and tearooms, no chains involved.
Wildlife?
Slow travel involves plenty of wildlife, whether by design or just in passing. There are plenty of nature reserves listed, such as Ashdown Forest, WWT Arundel, Pulborough Brooks & Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, but almost wherever you are you will see plenty of wildlife one way or another.
I hope this series does well and becomes international, as it is about time everyone slowed down a bit and appreciated what is around them.
