Touring Guide to Britain

Our family trip to Britain was so enriched by this book which details historic or geographic sites by map and by town in each region. We were driving and could explore; a nearby town with a windmill, or a battle site; even one town boasting of it's magnificant "hedge". While in York we hopped in a cab to tour the town and found the cabbie had a copy in the back seat. He proclaimed it the best he had seen. We agree! A great guide if you are chasing history.

One of the best guides I've found. It was a treat to read cover to cover even after returning from my trip. The information is broken down geographically, and covers approximately 30 sq miles per page with many key cities in full page detail. All major places of interest as well as many little know sites are listed for each area. I found the city maps even more helpful than the road maps I took along. No hotel information is given, but I recommend this book above most travel guides for the beginning stages of planning.
