Author Sam Cooper likes to think that Rowan Atkinson, AKA Mr Bean and Edmund Blackadder, would once have bestrode the fairways at St Bees when he attended the school that owns this quaint and remote course on the Cumbrian coast. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, suggests he might have done so while pondering the really big questions, such as what exactly is the difference between a clifftop course and links – and does it really matter anyway? Yes. Yes it does. 

This 18-volume series Links from the Road covers every links course in Great Britain. Volume 2: Fylde Coast, Lake District and Cumbria is available to purchase now from www.linksfromtheroad.com with subscription offers also available.
