OUR READERSMany thanks to the travellers who used the last edition and wrote to us with helpful hints, useful advice and interesting anecdotes: Charlie Morgan, Ilse Adema, Jade Lao, Jenn Nelson, Jill Edwards, Lynn Chong, Mayhew Lester, Robert Durenkamp, Rolf Wrelf

WRITER THANKSOliver BerryThanks to James Smart for giving me the gig and for guidance and support along the way; to Kate Ardron, Justin Foulkes, Dave Jones, Kate Whinney, Grace Hickock and Sarah Fox for their tips and suggestions; to the team at Wild Card PR and Watergate Bay for north coast adven-tures; and to Susie and Gracie Berry as always for keeping the home fires burning. Special thanks to Rosie Hillier for accompanying me on my southwest adventures and for never failing to make me smile.

Fionn DavenportA big thanks to all my new friends in Manches-ter for their sterling efforts in getting up to speed with an ever-changing city. Thanks to Laura for accompanying me on my research trips and to the editors at Lonely Planet who helped put shape on my scratchings.

Marc Di DucaBig thanks to all who helped me throughout the Southeast, especially staff at the tourist offices in Sandwich, Eastbourne and Rye. Thanks also to my wife, Tanya, and sons Taras and Kirill for ac-companying me on some long days of research.

Belinda DixonResearching a place is a real joint effort. It’s the result of B&B, bar and hotel staff who share their recommendations; tourist office workers who share their knowledge; random strangers who share their time and countless kindnesses. Huge thanks to all. And again to James Smart for the gig, LP’s behind the scenes teams, and fellow authors for humour, wisdom and travel-lers’ tales.

Peter DragicevichIt’s always a joy to meet up with friends on the road, so many thanks to Tim Benzie, Rob Carpenter, Catherine Cole, Matt Swaine, and Kerri and Finn Tyler for your company and good cheer.

Damian HarperGratitude to all those people who offered assis-tance along the way and came up with tips and ideas: Fiona Jenkins, James Munroe, Jon Tyler, Daisy Harper, Amy Williams, Arlene Fraser, Sarah Andrews, Timothy Benjamin and Emma

E SCENES

Rosalind. Thanks (and apologies) to anyone I may have overlooked.

Catherine Le NevezCheers first and foremost to Julian, and to all of the locals, fellow travellers and tourism professionals who provided insights, inspira-tion and good times, especially to Ade Andrews. Huge thanks too to Destination Editor James Smart, Senior Cartographer Mark Griffiths and everyone at LP. As ever, merci encore to my parents, brother, belle-sœur and neveu.

Hugh McNaughtanAll possible thanks to Peter Dragicevich for his guidance on this project, to my editor James Smart, to the kind people I met in Wales and, most importantly, to Tasmin, Maise and Willa.

Isabella NobleCheers to everyone who helped out on the road. Big thanks to my talented co-authors, especially fellow Oxbridger Belinda Dixon for the ‘healthy’ competition. Thanks also to Ellie, Cathy, Rose and David in the Cotswolds; Becky, Doug, Ali and Christine in Oxford; and Elly for perfect Michelin-starred dining company. Extra special thanks to my favour-ite research assistants Sarah, Jack, Dan, Andrew and Paps.

Andy SymingtonI owe thanks to many, but first to Jenny Neil and Brendan Bolland for being great friends and superb hosts, to Juliette and David Paton for their perpetual generosity and warm welcome and to my father for the whisky and much more. Gratitude goes also to Morwynne Carlow, Riika Åkerlind and numerous helpful folk met along the way. Big thanks also go to co-author Neil Wilson, editor James Smart and the LP team.

Belinda DixonCambridge & East Anglia, Bath & Southwest England Only happy when her feet are suitably sandy, Belinda has been (gleefully) travelling, research-ing and writing for Lonely Planet since 2006. See her VideoBlog posts at https://belindadixon.com

Peter DragicevichCardiff, Pembrokeshire & South Wales; Brecon Beacons & Mid-Wales; Snowdonia & North Wales After a successful career in niche newspaper and magazine publishing, both in his native New Zealand and in Australia, Peter finally gave in to Kiwi wanderlust, giving up staff jobs to chase his diverse roots around much of Europe. During the past decade he’s written literally dozens of guidebooks for Lonely Planet on an oddly disparate collection of

countries, all of which he’s come to love. He once again calls Auckland, New Zealand his home – although his current nomadic existence means he’s hardly ever there.

Damian HarperLondon Damian has been working largely full time as a travel writer (and translator) since 1997 and has also written for National Geographic Traveler, Dorling Kindersley (Where To Go When: Great Britain & Ireland; The Road Less Travelled), Fodor’s (London), The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, Ab-beville Press (Celestial Realm: The Yellow Mountains of China), Lexean, Fre-quent Traveller, China Ethos and various other magazines and newspapers.

Catherine Le NevezBirmingham, the Midlands & the Marches; Newcastle & Northeast England Catherine’s wanderlust kicked in when she roadtripped across Europe from her Parisian base aged four, and she’s been hitting the road at every opportunity since, travelling to around 60 countries. She recommends travelling without any expectations.

Hugh McNaughtanBrecon Beacons & Mid-Wales; Snowdonia & North Wales A former English lecturer, Hugh swapped grant applications for visa applications, and turned his love of travel intro a full-time thing. A long-time castle tragic with an abiding love of Britain’s Celtic extremities, he jumped at the chance to explore Wales, from the Cambrian Mountains to the tip of Anglesey. He’s never happier than when on the road with his two daughters. Except perhaps

on the cricket field....

Isabella NobleOxford, Cotswolds & Around Isabella’s travels have taken her across India, Southeast Asia, Australia, North America and Europe. She has lived in southern Spain and Melbourne, though she’s now (loosely) based in London.

Andy SymingtonGlasgow & Southern Scotland; Inverness & the Northern Highlands & Is-lands Andy has written or worked on more than a hundred books and other updates for Lonely Planet (especially in Europe and Latin America) and oth-er publishing companies, and has published articles on numerous subjects for a variety of newspapers, magazines and websites. He part-owns and operates a rock bar, has written a novel and is currently working on several

fiction and non-fiction writing projects. Andy, from Australia, moved to northern Spain many years ago. When he’s not off with a backpack in some far-flung corner of the world, he can probably be found watching the tragically poor local football side or tasting local wines after a long walk in the nearby mountains.

OUR STORYA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.

OUR WRITERSNeil WilsonYorkshire; Edinburgh; Glasgow & Southern Scotland; Stirling & Central Scot-land; Inverness & the Northern Highlands & Islands Neil was born in Scotland and has lived there most of his life. Based in Perthshire, he has been a full-time writer since 1988, working on more than 80 guidebooks for various publishers, including the Lonely Planet guides to Scotland, England, Ireland and Prague. An outdoors enthusiast since childhood, Neil is an active hill-walker, mountain-biker,

sailor, snowboarder, fly-fisher and rock-climber, and has climbed and tramped in four continents, including ascents of Jebel Toubkal in Morocco, Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, the Old Man of Hoy in Scotland’s Orkney Islands and the Northwest Face of Half Dome in California’s Yosemite Valley. Neil also wrote Plan, Understand and Survival guide.

Oliver BerryBath & Southwest England; the Lake District & Cumbria Oliver is a writer and photographer based in Cornwall. His first trip abroad was to the south of France, aged two. Since then he’s travelled to Corsica, New Zealand, the South Pacific and midwestern USA.

Fionn DavenportManchester, Liverpool & Northwest England Irish by birth and conviction, Fionn has been writing about his native country for more than two decades. He was pushed to travel in order to escape Dublin’s comfortable stasis and by the prom-ise of adventure, and this has cemented his belief that Ireland remains his fa-vourite place to visit, if not always live in. These days, he has a weekly commute home to Dublin, from Manchester, where he lives with his partner, Laura, and

their car, Trevor. In Dublin he presents Inside Culture on RTE Radio 1 and writes travel features for a host of publications, including the Irish Times.

Marc Di DucaCanterbury & Southeast England A travel author for the past decade, Marc has worked for Lonely Planet in Siberia, Slovakia, Bavaria, England, Ukraine, Austria, Poland, Croatia, Portugal, Madeira and on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
