Whether you’re a history buff, culture vulture or foodie, “The Hidden Places of England” is the ultimate companion for your travels.
“The reader is easily led around the country on a whirlwind tour”
South Yorkshire Times
History buff - England is teeming with places of historical significance, tradition and ancient legend. “The Hidden Places of England” takes a look at some great historic sites to visit across the regions such as the mysterious White Horse at Uffington, Carisbrooke Castle at Newport on the Isle of Wight and the prehistoric coastline of Devon.
Culture vulture - When it comes to culture York is ahead of the game. A thoroughly modern city in one respect, York uses its historical background to its full potential with an exciting mix of new and old coming together in some culturally diverse displays and museums.
Energetic - For a bracing and beautiful coastal walk, Northumberland is without compare. There is a particularly pleasant walk along the coastal footpath from the fishing village of Craster, to the mighty ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Spring is a wonderful time to visit when dune flowers bloom and seabirds are breeding.
Foodie - Whether you’re a curry connoisseur, partial to a gastropub Sunday lunch or prefer afternoon tea, look no further than “The Hidden Places of England” for inspiration on places to eat and drink.
Nature lover - On a bright sunny day why not pack a flask or picnic and head off to Seaton, part of the unspoilt Axe Valley. From Seaton, the South West Coast Path follows the coastline and is considered by naturalists as the last and largest wilderness on the southern coast of England; this area of unstable cliffs, wood and scrub is a haven for wildlife.
“The Hidden Places of England” can be found in all major bookstores, independent bookshops, internet retailers and direct from Travel Publishing. RRP £11.99
The Hidden Places series is a collection of easy to use, soft-backed travel guides, printed in full colour.
