The Motor Routes of England: Western Section

A seasoned traveler’s companion for the early motorist, this guide charts the western roads of England and the winding passages of Wales with meticulous detail. It blends practical route instructions, clear town‑plan sketches and colour plates that bring distant vistas—such as the forest‑edged Bettws‑y‑Coed—into view before you set off. The accompanying Bartholomew survey maps add topographic insight, helping drivers negotiate mountainous stretches with confidence.

Compiled from the firsthand experience of a Daimler 38‑hp journey, the text offers more than directions: it sprinkles in notes on local history, architecture and archaeology without slipping into lecture. Handy hotel listings and recommendations for inns punctuate each leg, while the author invites readers to report any inaccuracies, ensuring the guide stays as a living resource for fellow club members eager to explore the West’s scenic charms.
