John Travis has written and lectured on many aspects of Devon's history, but is perhaps best known for his books on the rise of the Devon seaside resorts, the history of smuggling on the Exmoor coast and on early Lynton and Lynmouth. After being awarded a PhD from the University of Exeter, he became a lecturer in social history.
