The authors provide lively accounts of every sight from the latest attractions such as the Cardiff Bay area and Gateshead's Baltic Centre to established landmarks from the Tower of London to Edinburgh Castle. For every town and region there are lively reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink, to suit all pockets and with accompanying maps pinpointing each location. There's also practical tips on exploring the great British countryside from the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline to the picturesque valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.

Reviews

[Carolien · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these exhaustive travel guides that have so much, more subjective information. The book is infused with the opinions of the writer making it much more readable than regular guide books.
Fun to read in small doses. It was due at the library, no more renewals, but I plan to check it out again to continue my couch trip through Britain.
