Buses Along The South West Coast Path from Minehead to Poole Harbour via Land's End

When one thinks of public transport in the south west over the years, two names tend to dominate: Western National and Devon General. But as this book shows, there was much more to it. Whilst it features buses past and present from a variety of operators large and small, it does so by following the route of one of the most well-known walks in England. The South West Coast Path stretches for 630 miles from Minehead in Somerset, through Devon and Cornwall along the north coast to Land's End, and back along the south coast to Poole harbour in Dorset. It boasts some spectacular scenery and regularly appears in lists of the world's best walks. The photographs of buses date from the 1920s through to the 2010s, and feature over 25 different operators. There are brief notes on the way in which the Coast Path connects these places and the availability of modern-day bus services between them.
