They say that no one in the British Isles lives more than an hour or two from the coast, a coastline of contrasts with scenery that changes from estuaries, shingle beaches, saltmarshes & sand dunes, to rocky shores, rugged cliffs, machair & bustling harbours.
Our shores are teeming with wildlife, be it in the water, on the tideline, clinging to cliffs or in the skies above them, & this beautiful book you can learn more about familiar & favourite coastal species & some intriguing lesser-known marine creatures.
Season by season, Celia Lewis's wonderful illustrations show the flowers, birds, animals, fish & insects found at that time of year. Her craft projects, using driftwood, pebbles & shells, are suitable for all ages & will encourage you to put beachcombed mementos to surprising uses. Or get creative with food & work some foraged ingredients into tasty recipes by Celia & many of our best seafood chefs.
We all love spending time near the water's edge, so next time you feel like stretching your legs along a coastal path, fancy a day trip to the seaside or are planning balmy summer holidays, dip into An Illustrated Coastal Year & be inspired by the incredible diversity of wildlife to be found around our little archipelago.
