Welcome to 52 Weekends by the Sea

The idea is simple: in the book we’ve created 52 weekends that deliver a flavour of our shores. Along with great adventures and people to meet, we’ve included special places to eat, drink and sleep too, all carefully handpicked from our own experience.

Most importantly, nobody has paid to be included. It’s who they are, what they are, and where they are that makes them all special.

If you’d like to know more about the way we work to create the 52 series, please dip into the Authors page where you’ll find a link to our blogs or follow us on Twitter.

And if you desire stunning images from the book in your home or workplace, visit the Special Offers page for print sales of Craig’s outstanding and international award winning photography.
