WILD SWIMMING TORBAY: ADVENTURES ON DEVONS RIVIERA

Torbay’s 22 miles of coastline is enormously diverse, with features such as the terracotta crags of Maidencombe and the spectacular limestone arch at the grandly named London Bridge. Its waters are among the shallowest and safest in the UK. The book features fifteen detailed swims, with practical information and guidance as well as the history, popular culture, geology and marine biology of each section of coast. The book also looks at Torbay’s proud history of sea swimming, and a golden age when the resort was known as Queen of the Watering Places.
