The rough guide to Britain

"Rough Guides are designed to be good to read and easy to use. The book is divided into the following sections and you should be able to find whatever you need in one of them. The colour section is designed to give you a feel for Britain, suggesting when to go and what not to miss, and includes a full list of contents. Then comes basics, for pre-departure information and other practicalities. The guide chapters cover Britain's regions in depth, each starting with a highlights panel, introduction and a map to help you plan your route. The contexts section fills you in on history, books and films, while individual colour inserts introduce Britain's coast, its literary heritage and its best festivals. The book concludes with all the small print, including details of how to send in updates and corrections, and a comprehensive index." - inside front cover.
