In Wild Coast, acclaimed travel writer John Gimlette embarks on an epic journey along the Atlantic coastlines of Spain, France, Portugal, Ireland, and the UK, rediscovering the wild, forgotten shores of Europe.

From the windswept beaches of the Basque Country to the remote islands of Scotland, Gimlette uncovers a hidden world of smugglers, saints, and shipwrecks, as well as the natural wonders that have shaped these coastlines for centuries.

With his trademark wit and keen eye for detail, Gimlette brings to life the characters and stories that have made these shores so rich and diverse. He meets a Basque fisherman who still uses traditional methods to catch tuna, a French oyster farmer who has dedicated his life to preserving the local ecosystem, and an Irish historian who shares the tragic tale of the Spanish Armada.

But Wild Coast is more than just a travelogue. It is also a meditation on the power of the sea to shape our lives and our imaginations. Gimlette explores the role of the Atlantic in shaping European history, from the age of exploration to the present day.

Wild Coast is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone who loves travel, adventure, nature, and history. It is a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still wild and forgotten places to be discovered.
