Chocolate and Chicory: York and beyond by bicycle

Cover of Chocolate and Chicory: York and beyond, by bicycle

Exploring the lesser-known history beyond the city walls

From Bohemia to Bad Bargain Lane, to where the road ends and the river bends, from factories to fields, to old stones and strays. Following country roads and cycle tracks, to villages beyond the ring road, and the suburbs within. From crucial crops and the people who harvested them, from asylums to airfields, from the plague years to the age of the train.

An exploration of the local landscape, including eight mapped routes of between 10 and 23 miles. Can also be enjoyed without a bicycle, from the comfort of your sofa. A book for anyone interested in the lesser-known history beyond the city walls.
