We know Wild Wookey is amazing. Now the The Telegraph does too.

🗞️An interesting article from Telegraph Travel by Paul Miles about his stay in Tom Rolt's former home. It was here that Tom would have spent time campaigning for the waterways and writing his bestselling 1944 book 'Narrow Boat' before later forming Fund Britain's Waterways.




Thanks Fund Britain's Waterways and Tim Rolt has just told me about another book about his father, Tom Rolt, to be released later this year. amazon.co.uk/Exploring-Rolt…


Pleased to have just been commissioned to write four features recreating Tom & Angela Rolt's 400 mile 1939/40 canal journey in their converted cargo boat, Cressy. Tom's account of that journey in his book Narrow Boat led to the formation of Fund Britain's Waterways and the revival of the canals.
