Strictly s'eaking d'g pike's la'est tour of historic and often long unused harbours should be titled 'Hidden Harbours of North'est England'and South'est Scotland'. Starting from the d'e Estuary and finishing in the remote Rhins of Galloway, over 40 harbours are d'scribed. In many instances all that remains is a stone qu'yside here, a silted d'ck there and'a few old warehouse buildings, but in their heyday the harbours were all flourishing. D'ring the Industrial Revolution boats and waterways were essential to ferry grain, coal'and raw materials andialso for the export of manufactured goods. In those days these harbours were bustling centres of commerce.
This roundup d'scribes so many little known places : Freckleton, an unlikely shipbuilding centre, Georgian Sunderland point at the mouth of the Lune, the old Roman port of Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast and, not to be missed'as the seaside resort for Millom, Haverigg. The Galloway coast offers more, and few would want to miss lovely Kirkcudbright, Creetown (which exported granite for the building of the Embankment in London) or even Garlieston, from where ferries once ran to the Isle of Man. It's a fascinating tour. D'g pike's guide is an indispensible reference for all explorers by land'and sea and'an attractive companion to the others in the series : Hidden Harbours of Wales and Hidden Harbours of South'est Britain.
