Wild Things Lost Lanes – South

Grab your bike and ride along with author Jack Thurston and discover the most wonderful hidden corners of southern England, travelling along its ancient network of quiet lanes and byways.

What better way to discover and enjoy a new place than under your own power. Whether you’re on a bicycle, tandem, handcycle or tricycle, Lost Lanes takes you on a journey through the bucolic splendour of Southern England. From gentle spins to weekend camping adventures and energetic hill climbs, enjoy wild seashores, enchanted woodlands, breathtaking vistas and midnight escapades. 

Spin past hedgerows and open meadows, along sparkling rivers and wild seashores, and see it all from the best vantage point of all: that humble yet extraordinary transport of delight, the bicycle.

All the routes are clearly graded from easy to challenging, letting you choose how much effort you want to take in. And if you enjoy the pub stops as much as the biking, Lost lanes includes listings of the best pubs and tea stops, wild swim spots, viewpoints and even accommodations to make it a multi-day tour. 

The book is accompanied by a dedicated website where you’ll find downloadable GPX files, turn-by-turn route instructions and detailed maps. And it gives guidance on how to access rides by train – phew, the car can be left at home. 

The book includes 256 pages, and includes the following:

• Route overviews, distances and maps
• Overnight stops, from B&Bs to camping under the stars
• Best pubs and tea stops
