Summary | "British Highways and Byways from a Motor Car" by Thos. D. Murphy is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles a five-thousand-mile motor tour through England, Wales, and Scotland, focusing on the various landscapes, historic sites, and towns encountered along the way. The narrative captures the charm of the British countryside while eschewing common tourist paths, aiming to provide insights valuable for anyone interested in exploring Britain, whether by car, train, or even on foot. The opening of the book sets the stage for this unique journey, beginning with reflections on the author's initial visit to Stratford-on-Avon. He compares traveling by train to the freedom and beauty of traveling by motor car, emphasizing the advantages of seeing the countryside and lesser-known locales from behind the wheel. The author discusses the preparation for the trip, including essential mapping resources and the benefits of having a personal vehicle for exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations. His account encourages readers to embrace the adventures that motor travel can afford while providing a glimpse of the alluring English landscapes and remarkable historical places waiting to be discovered.
