David Young,TV presenter,architect, writer and raconteur has,for more years than he cares to remember, been travelling the South West of England with Labrador companions 'William' and latterly 'Oliver',in a series of journeys regularly shown on Westward TV,TSW and now on Westcountry.In these programmes he looks at the region's buildings, historic follies,customs and folklore.They have taken him on horseback following the journeys of John Welsey,by bullnose Morris to follow H.V. Morton's route across the South West; he has journeyed by stagecoach, flown and sailed the coastline and even trudged it as a tramp - fascinating young and old alike with his highly personal approach to the subject.From time to time he has ventured on to the network bringing a breath of West Country air to the rest of Britain. The highly-acclaimed, award winning series 'Bats in the Belfry',an eccentric series of journeys looking at follies,off-beat buildings and strange structures,was followed by two equally successful series of Cobblestones,Cottages and Castles. Now 'Cobblestones,Cottages and Castles III' accompanies a third television series of similar journeys in search of fascinating,unusual,even bizarre people,places and objects in the West Country.Curiosity has been his inspiration and entertainment his motive and the book follows the television series in stepping back in time to what each succeeding generation fondly calls 'The Good Old Days'.The 6 chapters in the book,Cottages, Castles,Pubs,Churches,Heritage and Miniatures link with the 6 television programmes shown on the regional TV station.
