Description
The Severn Estuary: a border, a trade route, and a place of industry and leisure. Peter Finch walks along its Welsh and English shores, exploring its significance past and present. He sets out to reclaim his personal memories while discovering the lives of others who live by it. Finch's journey takes him through villages and cities, power stations and fishermen, castles and caravans, as well as industrial sites and seaside towns. Along the way, he encounters stories of tragedy, competing delights, and the changing fortunes of coastal communities. This is a richly anecdoted account that brings to life the estuary's beauty and complexity. Through his walk along the Severn Estuary, Finch revives past links between Wales and England, while also looking at his homeland from abroad. The result is an evocative and engaging portrait of a unique and fascinating region.
