Media Reviews
'Slow guides take time to point the way.' Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall 'The Slow guides are the perfect travel companion - warm, witty and stuffed with insider knowledge. I can't think of a better way to unlock the joys of Britain.' Carl Honore, author of In Praise of Slow 'Fans of Cornwall will adore Slow Cornwall ...the book offers information on where to stay, eat and drink and what to do and see ...' The Lady magazine 'This little book fits perfectly into a Barbour pocket, so even if the sun isn't shining on your Cornish holiday, you can enjoy rainy explorations with Kirsty Fergusson as your guide... The charmingly written entries read rather like a diary, and, at the end of each section, are suggested pubs, restaurants and places to stay.' Country Life - August 2012 'What makes Slow Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly stand out is its amiability...a friendly companion to your carefree travels.' Western Morning News 'In researching this book Kirsty Fergusson has listened carefully to local residents and allowed their wit and wisdom to shine through. It is this attention to detail that makes this guide a wonderful example of what 'Slow' is all about...I will be using this book to help plan my summer holidays and I live here!' Stephen Warman, Cornwall Sustainable Tourism 'Both a practical guide as well as an armchair read, she chooses places to stay, eat, drink and visit, with an eye always on taking your time and slowing down' Cornwall Life '[Kirsty Fergusson's] insightful slow approach is underscored by visiting as much of the county as possible by boat or bike.'
