📚 For your travel bookshelf this week...

Hello!

This week, we're in the mood to celebrate the lovely place we call home.

It's no secret that we're big fans of the British Isles – our ever-growing Slow Travel series is proof of that – but a reminder that there's plenty to discover on our doorstep never hurts.

Whether it's a dog-friendly weekend in Oxford, an active escape on the Isle of Wight, a week spent exploring County Durham or a road trip along Yorkshire's Heritage Coast, these islands are full of memorable adventures waiting to be uncovered.

In keeping with this theme, we'd also like to remind you that there's still time to enter our Photographing the British Isles Competition. And once the entries are in, why not join us at a special event at Stanfords Bookshop on 30th July? Travel writer and photographer William Gray will be sharing his expert tips on capturing the beauty of the British Isles through photography, before announcing this year's competition winners.

We hope to see you there.

Until next time,

The Bradt Team
