About This Book

The author records a series of motor rambles through France and Germany and an extended pilgrimage across Britain, offering practical route notes alongside descriptive sketches of towns, castles, cathedrals, and rural scenery. Chapters range from coastal crossings and the Loire chateau district to Bavaria, the Rhine, and German spa towns, then return to detailed drives through England, Wales, and the Scottish Highlands. Occasional anecdotes and reflections on traveling by motor car illuminate contemporary touring practices, while plates, duogravures, and maps illustrate routes and notable sights.
