Publisher's Information 2014

Twenty years after its first publication, Along the Arun has been republished in a fully revised edition with new photographs. The book provides a guide for walkers based on the course of the River Arun from Littlehampton to Pulbrough. While detailed information about the route is given, Along the Arun provides more than a conventional walkers' guide, for it has a wealth of information about towns and villages on the way and on the river itself. It has appeal, therefore, to visitors by car or public transport who do not wish to embark on ambitious walks and indeed to residents of the area wanting to know more about it. Even the armchair explorer will find much of interest. The area covered has beautiful scenery and much of historical interest. To do justice to the subject, the book ranges in time from the geological origins of the Arun and the evidence of early man in Sussex right up to the very contemporary East Beach Cafe in Littlehampton designed by Thomas Heatherwick, taking in Roman, Saxon, Norman and later phases of history along the way. The book includes thirteen maps and thirty-one photographs closely related to the text.
