Publisher's Synopsis
"The A39 road from Bridgwater and the A358 from Taunton are the chief routes to Minehead, skirting the northern and north-eastern slopes of the Quantock Hills, and running close to the south-western side of the Quantocks respectively. 250 years ago these routes did not exist and there is a local myth that coaches travelled over the Quantocks to reach Minehead. Here, John Greed examines the history of the roads into Minehead and investigates the possibility that coaches navigated the thousand-feet-high hill range."--Back cover.
