Description

The Great North Road, a 400-mile stretch of road that once connected London to Edinburgh, has largely faded from memory. Yet, in 2021, journalist and cyclist Steve Silk embarked on an 11-day journey to rediscover its significance.

Travelling by bike at a leisurely pace, Steve explores the towns and countryside of England and Scotland, uncovering the forgotten treasures of this ancient highway. Along the way, he searches out coaching inns, coffee shops, and other hidden gems, revealing the rich history and humour of Britain's past.

This book is a tribute to the enduring appeal of the open road, enriched with history, insight, and a sense of adventure. It's a journey that will appeal to anyone who loves travel, cycling, or simply the stories of Britain's past.
