The Definitive Planning Guide.... Jan 19, 2009
By D. S. Thurlow
The 2008 edition of "The Rough Guide to Britain" is the definitive planning guide for those intending a vacation that takes in England, Wales, and Scotland (Ireland, including Northern Ireland, is covered in a separate Rough Guide). In a compact 1,000 page format, this Rough Guide offers choices and lots of them, along with information on when and how to get there.
Britain has much to entertain the visitor, from cosmopolitan London to cathedral towns and grand homes to the wilderness areas of northern Scotland and central Wales. Several thousand years of well-preserved history are on display in a variety of museums, while the major cities offer the lastest in culture and shopping. There is something for almost everyone.
"The Rough Guide to Britain" breaks out its coverage of England, Wales, and Scotland by geographic regions. Each regional chapter points out the touring highlights and the practicalities of dining and lodging. The text is buttressed by graphic maps, black and white photos, and short articles on special items of interest. Color inserts in the Guide focus on items of general interest such as Britain's coastal areas, its literary heritage, and unique festivals worth a look. The Guide has the usual maps of Britain, climatology charts, and the practical details of arriving in and traveling around Britain.
"The Rough Guide to Britain" is very highly recommended to those planning a vacation in Great Britain. This guide, along with appropriate driving maps, may be the only resources needed for an excellent visit.
