June in review: Bradt's best bits


June in Review

June has been a busy month at Bradt, with new books hitting the shelves, fresh features landing on the website and the countdown continuing to our Photographing the British Isles Competition deadline...

We marked World Environment Day by exploring the positive impact that Slow Travel can have on both travellers and the places they visit. From there, we looked further ahead, imagining what travel could look like in 50 years if sustainability remains at the heart of how we explore the world.

Tickets also went on sale for William Gray's special event at Stanfords on 30th July, where he'll announce the winners of our Photography Competition and share his expert advice on capturing the beauty of the region. If you're still hoping to enter, there's not long left - the competition closes in just two days!

Meanwhile, our editorial team has been hard at work, publishing five guidebooks this month. We welcomed Málaga & the Costa del Sol, Seville and Dog-Friendly Weekends: Cotswolds to our catalogue, alongside fully updated guides to Taiwan and Madagascar.

The new releases have also inspired plenty of fresh content on the website. We've been uncovering the best food and drink experiences in Taiwan, rounding up pet-friendly escapes in Oxford and sharing our guide to the very best things to do in the Andalucian capital.
