Summary
We lead busy lives these days — which might be all well and good for getting things done, but is the last thing you want on holiday.That's the central idea behind a new book by the travel writer Liz Schaffer, Slow Travel Britain, in which Liz travelled to 22 off-the-track parts of Britain to really take them in. From walking Hadrian's Wall to exploring the unspoilt corners of the Pembrokeshire coast, Liz made a point of taking her time, talking to the people she met, and avoiding — at all costs — falling in to the trap of box-ticking sights and places.We're delighted that Liz joined us on the Country Life Podcast, speaking to our own Travel Editor, Rosie Paterson, to discuss the places she saw, the people she met, and what she learned about travel — and indeed herself — on the way.Liz's book is published by Hoxton — you can order a copy here.Episode credits Host: Rosie PatersonGuest: Liz SchafferProducer and Editor: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via PixabaySpecial thanks: Adam WilbournOn holiday this week but will be back next time: James Fisher Hosted on Acast.
