Where Tourists Seldom Tread: Postcards from Bypassed Britain by Chris Moss

Dubrovnik or Doncaster? Corfu or Crewe? A safari in Kenya or an abandoned zoo on the Isle of Man? Palma de Mallorca – or Preston? Take Your Pick.

Overtourism has many causes. The main one: a lack of imagination.

Travelling from Warrington, Birkenhead and Slough to East Kilbride, Armagh, Newport and beyond, the Lancashire-born author seeks out Britain’s bypassed towns. Join us at The Harris for a talk about alternative travel and tourism – highlighting the history and culture to be found in unexpected places.

Chris Moss will be signing copies of Where Tourists Seldom Tread, published by Faber/Guardian on July 16, as well as his recent book Lancashire: Exploring the Historic County that Made the Modern World.
