preface*
This volume, covering Wales, the Midlands, and South-
"West, completes the "Contoiu'" Road Book of England
in three volumes. The total mileage of the roads "con-
toured" in this volume is 9,500 miles, which shows that
the work is complete in every respect.
The work has been compiled from entirely original
sources, the information being obtained personally by the
writer in a survey of each district. The utmost care
has been taken to ensure perfect accuracy in regard to
all the miscellaneous information compressed into these
pages.
The Author's thanks are due to those gentlemen who
have so kindly helped at various stages, and whose ready
assistance has so largely contributed to the accuiac}- of
the work.

CONTOUR ROAD BOOK OF ENGLAND (IF.) xiii.
General Notes.
Routes 1-674 are in the North, and South-East Divisions.
The district covered by this volume is one of the most delightful
pai'ts of England for sceneiy. The rugged cliffs, and the bold
headlands are the distinctive features of the -whole coast from
Dorset, round Cornwall, to North Wales. The tourist must there-
fore be content with following the liilliest of roads. Inland the
counti-y is either very hilly or undulating, with the exception of a
portion of Somersetshire, where it is flat.
The roads are all more or less hilly, but some of the main routes
throiigh the best scenery are well engineei-ed. Duiing the Autumn
Militaiy Manoeuvi-es the roads over Salisbury Plain are comjdetely
broken up with the traffic over them, and are often impassable.
The Cathedrals at Exeter, Truro, Wells, Bristol, Bath, Salisbury,
Gloucester, Worcester, and Lichfield are worth visiting. Those in
Wales are of no gi-eat interest. Visit also the fine ruins of Tintem
Abbey and Glastonbury Abbey. Of Castles and laiins of castles
there are few in the South, but in Wales, and near its borders ;
those at Chepstow, Raglan, Ludlow, Harlech, Carnarvon, and
Conway, are in i-emarkably good preservation.
The best scenery is in Carnarvonshire and Merioneth; and at
Llangollen, Barmouth, Aberystwyth, Wye Valley, Tenby, Ludlow,
Wai'wick ; the Devonshire, Cornwall, and Dorset Coast; and the
Mendip and Malvern Hiils. "Shakespeare's country" is at Strat.

At fii-st glance, the spelling and pronunciation of the Welsh
names is very puzzling, but this is owing to some of the letters of
the Welsh alphabet being used to produce ditferent sounds from the
English. For all practical pur^joses it is enough to know that : —
Ll-thl; dd = th; ic=uovoo: u = i; c^k; f-V ; and.?7'=/.
These will enable the beginner to master the initial stages, but,
to be accurate, there is a subtle inflexion which has no English
equivalent, and that can only be learned viva voce.

It is only right to saj' that the place names owe their length to
being compound words, and when the letters are run together
some extraordinaiy combinations are produced. The name that
has sutfered most is Llanfair-pwll-gwyngyll, in Anglesea, known as
Llanfair (P.G.), which is made to appear as : —
Llanfairpwllgwj-ngjilgogerchwymdrobwlltysiliogogoch, or
Llanfaiii^wllgwyngj'/ltiisiliologogoch, aiul other variations.
The tennination to the original name is apocryphal, and consists
merely of a more minute description of the locality.
Llan means church, and the common compounds Llanfair (Church
St. Mary); Llanfihangel (Church St. Michael); and Llansantflraid
(Church St. Bridey, are the initial stages of the longer words. The
names are usually simple, thus, the church of St. Bride on the
banks of the Conway : LlansantfFraid-glan-Conway.

The time of sunset for each date \aries from ^car to >ear, these
Tables therefore are not absolutely exact, but yi%e an average which
is never more than a few minutes out, on any date.
To use the Tables. — Find the district required on the next page,
and add the time allowance to the column named, and opposite the
required date. For example, the average time for lighting lamps
at Coventry on June 21 is obtained as follows: — Co\entry, add
6 minutes to column F on June 21, which is 9.19. The average hour
for lighting lamps is therefore 9.25 p.m.
For dates not in Table take the proportion between the two nearest.

xviii. CONTOUR ROAD BOOK OF ESGLASD (ir.)
Explanation of Diagrams.
The line bordering the shaded portion of the Plan is a
facsimile of the profile of tlie Route, and is divided by vertical
lines into miles, and by horizontal lines into contoui"s of 100 feet,
so that distances and heights are ascertained qnickly.
The blocks show the positions of the villages and houses, while
the signs are the road directions : — < Road Fork, forward
journey, > ditto reverse, + Cross Roads, ± Road Junction, fl
Bridge, t indicates a shaiii turn. The directions R (right) and
L (left) for the forward journey are above the Road Line, those
of the revei-se below.
The vertical scale has necessarily been enlarged out of strict pro-
portion, as otlierwise the ordinary Gradients would almost have
been imjHjrceptible.
Explanation of Letterpress.
The diagram should be consulted first, as the letterpress is
appended to it. Places named in brackets are otf the road.
The Description sttites the quality of the road, and it should
be observed that the " Class " refers solely to the construction of
the road, and not to its surface. Class I. is a superior, broad, and
finely -made road. Class II. is the ordinary main road. Class III.
is of inferior construction, iisually narrow, or hilly. Roads of
this class are usually very old, or have been constructed in an
inferior manner.
Gradients. — l in 25; i.e., l foot of rise in 2o, is a fairly easy
hill, 1 in 20 is stiff. 1 in 15 is steep. Cyclists usually walk uj) a hill
of 1 in 17. A descent does not generally become dangerous till
it is 1 in 15 and then only with a sharp turn, but witli anything
steeper the danger increases. A little experience of one or two
hills will be a permanent guide. On nearly every hill the gradient
varies every few yarels. Those given here represent ajjproxiniately
the general slope, and in most cases the maximum is given.
Milestones. — The exact points from which these are measured
are named. Where the measurements in this work differ from
those given on the milestones, the difference in distance between
the starting points, and other variations, is the cause.
Measurements. — The tabular form gives the distance from
any one point to another, the number below the one name and
opposite the other being the distance I'einiired. For clearness
the furlongs have been put in the tables as J ths.
Principal Objects of Interest.— These are only notes-
details can be found in almost any guide book.
Hotels or Inns- — It has been found difficult to decide whether
certain small houses should be inserted or not. The tourist there-
fore should not exi)ect much of some of them, as they are the only
accommodation available.
At intervals throughout the hook, numbei'S have been left blank,
to enable new routes to be added when required.

725 Exeter to Plymouth. (By Dartmoor.)
Description.— Class 11. An exceedingly hilly road to
witliin ten miles of Plymouth. The surface is very fair as
far as ]\Ioreton Hampstead, but the hills are very steep and
ilangerous. From IMoreton Hampstead to Princetown the
road is loose on the moors, and is little else than a succession
of dangerous hills, but they are nearly all straight. Awkward
descent to Two Bridges. After Princetown the surface im-
proves, and after Harrowbeer it is an excellent undulating
road into Plymouth. For Devonport keep to R. at 40m.
The best road is E. 724. Fine scenery.

701 Ilfracombe to Minehead.
Description.— Class II. The worst main road in the
south of England. From Ilfracombe to Combe ]Martin the
road has fine surface, but is very steep ; thereafter it is a
long ascent, very steep at first, then easier, then steep, but
with good surface to Blackmoor Sta. From Blackmoor Sta,
to Parracombe the surface is good to close to that place,
when the road drops suddenly into the village and rises
agam on the other side with a perfectly precipitous gradi-
ent and with wretched surface; good surface again for the
next four miles, then another dangerous descent, before
Barbrook Mill. The road then descends to Lynmouth by a
sheer descent with an awkward twist at the bottom — about
the most dangerous hill in the country. From L^-nmouth
the road rises by a two mile ascent of a somewhat similar
description, but after Countisbury it is easier, and for the
next 7m. is \isualh- good, but inclined to be ijoft ; the road
then descends to Porlock by another sheer descent, with two
twists iiear the bottom ; there is scarcely any surface to
this jmrt of the road — it is more like a river bed^but a new
descent (sho-vvii dotted) has been made to Porlock from Oar
Post, a mile longer, with better surface. Fine surface, but
a hilly road from Porlock to Minehead.

702 Taunton to Barnstaple.
Description.— Class II. As far as Milverton the road has
fine surface, and slight gradients, but close to that place it
becomes hilly, and after AViveliscombe the hills are very long
to Venn Cross Station, whence the gradients are easier to
Banipton. From Bampton to South Molton the road is good
at first, but after Stukeridge Bridge it rather degenerates
in quality, and although the gradients are not very steep, it
is sometimes a very heavy road. Near South Molton there
are two very dangerous hills, and thereafter to Barnstaple
the road is more or less hilly, with a dangerous descent
to Swimbridge. There is a more direct road (shown by
dotted lines) between Bampton and Stukeridge Bridge, a
mile shorter, but rather steep.

654 GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
SS2 Gloucester to Chipping Norton.
Description. — Class I. & III. The best road from Glou-
cester to Andoversford is through Cheltenham, the moi-e
direct road being dangerously steep, as shown at foot.
Fine surface all the way to Andoversford, although the
road near Cheltenham is at times wery bumpy. This part
is the London road. After Andoversford the road has fair
surface all the way to Chij^ping Norton, but there are
quite a number of steep and dangerous hills as far as Stow,
but these can mostly be avoided by following a side road
past Notgrove Station. From Stow to Chii:)ping Norton,
the direct road, shown dotted, is very steep; the longer
route by Churchhill, that is usually followed, avoids the
steep hills, and has excellent surface. There is another and
almost better road by Adlestrop Station and Kingham to
Churchhill. As a through route this road cannot be recom-
mended ; the road by Burf ord and Witney is much easier
when going eastwards.

GLOUCESTER AXD 310 N MOUTH.
3oO Gloucester to Newport (Monmouth).
Description. — Class I. Although this seems a round-
abotit road, it is by far the best and quickest, owing to the
hilly country intervening. The direct route to Monmouth
via Colef ord is sho-wai below ; the direct route to Newport
is Route 886, but both are much steeper than this route.
From Gloucester to Ross, see Route 876 ; thereafter magni-
ficent surface the whole way to Newport, but with a rough
and dangerous hill at \yhitchurch. The road by Coleford
has fair surface, but dangerous hills ; but from Coleford
to Monmouth by Staunton is even better than by Redbrook.

GLOWCESTER AND MONMOUTH.
8SO Gloucester to Cardiff.
Description. — Class II. Although this is the direct road,
it is exceedingly hillj between Newnham and Chepstow, and
as these hills are very steep, the road round by Eoss and
Monmouth, Route 885, is much to be preferred. At first
the surface is very good to Newnham, but after that there
is a succession of steep and dangerous hills, but with very
fair sui'face, to Chepstow ; thereafter the road, though
somewhat hilly as far as Caerwent, has ver^' good surface,
but is rather bumpy round about Newport and Cardiff,
owing to heavy traffic.

035 Coventry to Newcastle (Continued).
Between Coventry and Lichfield there are a number of
hills as far as "Whitacre, and beyond that, only slight inclines
to Fazeley ; thereafter only one hill to Lichfield. (Note to
turn to left at Two Gates, thus avoiding Tamworth, and a
bvimpy piece of road.) From Lichfield to Rugeley the road
given here, though not the most direct, has fine surface and
easy grades. The direct road (shown dotted) has some rather
stiff inclines. From Eugeley to Newcastle the road is flat
for ten miles, to Sandon, whence there are some slight hills
between that place and Newcastle. The road throughout
has magnificent surface, and is a splendid, broad highway.
For Chester (R. 265), turn off at Meaford, 50hn. For
Stafford (R. 967), at "Wolseley Bridge, 36|m. For Longton,
at Trentham, 54m. For Stoke and Hanley (R. 958), at Trent

WARWICK.
O3o Coventry to Shrewsbury.
Description,— Class 11. Although the main route to
Shrewsbury is through Birmingham, this road avoids the
18 miles of Black Countr}' that is most objectionable, both
owing to hea\y traffic, slag heaps, and spouting furnaces^
At several points the surface on this road is a little loose,
but the surface is generally in good condition to Cannock,
whence the road has splendid surface to Cracklej^ Bank.
From there to Wellington the road is rough and steep, and
it is almost better to go round by Shifnal. Note not to go
straight forward past Oakengates, as the road is narrow and
very steep ; follow the route by Snedshill and Ketley Bank,
or by Shifnal. From Wellington to Shrewsbury, see
Route 949.
The road from Lichfield (shown dotted) joins in at Brown-
hills (Rising Sun Inn) ; it has good surface. The old Chester
Road to Newport branches off to R. at 43|m.

037 Birmingham to Leominster.
Description.— Class II. The paving is good for three
miles from Birmingham, but the road then becomes bmnpy,
with two very dangerous hills to Hagley ; after that good
sm'f ace, but hilly to Kidderminster. (Better to train to Stour-
bridge, and join at Kidderminster, see last diagram). Ex-
cellent surface, but a stiff hill thence to Bewdley. From
Bewdley to Tenbury there are very steep hills, with a
dangerous turn in Mamble, but after reaching Newnham
the road at once improves, and is in perfect condition to
Leominster. The road from Bewdley, through Cleobmy
Mortimer to Tenbury, is a succession of dangerous hills.

Description.— Class II. & III. Of the two roads shown,
the direct route by Bloxwich is by no means the better ; it
lies through the manufacturing districts of Wednesfield
and Bloxwich, and through the collieries at Brownhills ;
the surface is therefore much cut up, and there is often
loose material on the road. By Walsall the road is con-
siderably superior, and is kept in better order.

immediately after, the surface improves, and is in perfect
condition to Newcastle. The road is almost level, excepting
a few slight undulations before Stafford, the hill over to
Stone, and some hiUs near Trentham.
For Longton (SO^m.), turn to right at Stone, or Trentham,
preferably the latter. For Stoke and Hanley, turn to right
at Trent Vale. Newcastle to JManchester (R. 244), 363m. ;

SHROPSHIRE.
078 Shrewsbury to Stafford.
Description. — Class II. There are two roads between
ShreAYsbury and Newport ; the longer, and best road,
through Wellington, has splendid surface and very slight
gradients for eleven miles. From Wellington to Newport
the surface is also excellent, but it is not nearly so good
as the first section of the road. The more direct road to
Newport is shown at foot; the surface on it is very good,
but several hills detract considerably from what is a very
fair road. There is a dangerous descent before Newport.
From Newport to Stafford the road has very good surface,
but there is a dangerous hill three miles from Stafford.

SHROPSnjRE.
080 Shrewsbury to Hereford.
Description,— Class I. After tlis dangerous descent in
Shrewsbury the road has splendid surface, rising steadily
to Church Stretton, with several slight hills at various
points; thereafter it is a long descent of fifteen miles to
Ludlow, fine siu'face and very slightly undulating. At
Ludlow there is a steep ascent to the town, then a
dangerous descent through the old gateway to the bridge,
then after a slight hill it is a first-class road to "SYooferton,
beyond Avhich it becomes slightly hilly to Leominster.
From Leominster to Hereford the road has splendid sur-
face, but is hilly approaching Hereford. The main road
goes over Dinmore Hill, but this slightly dangerous hill
is avoided by going round by Bodenham ; or by Bodenham
3Ioor and Sutton.

Description.— Class II. This is an excellent undulating
road through Alberbviry to Llansantffraid ; practically flat
near Four Crosses, then with easy undulations to Llan-

steep, and there is a dangerous descent, with an awkward
turn, shortlj^ before Vyrnwy. On the higher parts of the
road the surface is rather loose. The road goes round
the lake, and is level, with good surface (distance lUm.).

31 CoRWEN TO Barmouth. [1031]
Description.— Class II. The shortest and best road from
C'orwen to Bala is by Drnid. and although the surface is a
trifle loose, the perfect engineering makes this a fast road,
as the rise is very gradual. The route by Llandrillo has
steeper hills, but prettier scenery. From Bala to Dolgelley
the road is very good, as far as Llanuwchllj-n, where turn
to right at fork, along a bad road. From this point, for
a))out six miles, the road is all loose stones and grass ; but
the cyclist can usually find a narrow track. After Drwsy-
nant Station the surface at once improves, and is in good
condition all the way to Dolgelley, which lies on the other
side of the river from the road. From Dolgelley to Bar-
mouth the surface is also very good, but there are a number
of short steej) hills, and those near Barmouth are slightly
<langerous. The distance round Bala Lake is eleven miles.
"West side, good surface ; east side, fair.

Description.— Class I. For the first twelve miles the

in recommending them to their notice."
The Cyclists' Touring Club Gazette says : " Their value
has long been admitted."
Tourists and Cyclists, Walking and Driving Parties,
Anglers and Sportsmen can have no clearer and handier
Maps for finding their way about the country ; the Main
Roads are coloured, and the Cross Road», Lanes, and
Footpaths distinctly marked.
These Maps are printed on thin, but tough paper, and
are therefore light and strong ; while the cloth edition
can be folded to lie open at any particular part — a great
advantage to Cyclists.

much larger area, the amount of detail is considerably less.
