Description
The Beacon Bike is Edward Peppitt’s remarkable account of cycling around England and Wales to visit all 327 lighthouses. What begins as an ambitious personal challenge transforms into a compelling exploration of maritime history, coastal landscapes, and the stories behind these enduring beacons.
Peppitt’s journey takes readers through dramatic clifftops, hidden coves, and bustling harbors as he discovers the people and histories connected to each lighthouse. From the iconic towers of the south coast to the remote sentinels of Wales, each location reveals unique tales of engineering, bravery, and coastal heritage.
Part travel narrative, part historical exploration, The Beacon Bike captures the spirit of adventure and the meditative rhythm of long-distance cycling. It’s a celebration of British maritime tradition and a testament to the determination required to complete such an ambitious undertaking.
