Product Description
From the tempestuous seas round Cape Wrath, at the north-west tip of the Scottish mainland, to the creeks and estuaries of East Anglia, Britain's coastline offers an inexhaustible range of dramatic contrasts. This book takes you on a voyage of discovery round the coast of England, Scotland and Wales. It describes the type of beaches you will find.

 A picture paints a thousand words! May 21, 2010
RT (Bedfordshire)
This book is severely lacking photos, pages upon pages of brief one paragraph descriptions for each location but without any photos to accompany them it really is worthless information. This guide appears to have been thrown together and Readers Digest obviously wanted to save a few quid on buying some photos to put in it.
 The Most Amazing Places on Britain's Coast - more pictures needed March 3, 2010
Mr. G. A. Wise (Chichester)
This was a heavily discounted book, but it does give a short description on features to see on the coastline but so few pictures it is so hard to judge if it is worth seeing, some good pictures have to work at finding where it is as often used twice in the book. I would not recommend unless it is revised with more pictures. Usually Readers Digest is good quality but this was disappointing.
 Extremely useful and comprehensive July 5, 2008

If, like me, you love water and find yourself in an area wondering what there might be to do to fill in a an evening's walk, this gazetteer is invaluable. Time and again it identifies the local gems, from sea caves to tea shops, ruined churches to secret bays.
If you want to plan a trip then the most spectacular places are highlighted with full page picture spreads. I love it.
Great photos, production, layout and maps (loads of them) too.
Too much information! July 2, 2008

This book has a sister publication 'The most amazing places to visit in Britain' Now that book is a gem. You can plan a great trip around the suggestions in that book and few are as predictable as you might imagine.
I bought this book with the same expectation, yet sad to say it has failed to come up to the same high standard. It is too comprehensive, covering by its own admission over 1000 different locations. In consequence it attempts to cover most places with a very brief paragraph. Certainly not enough information to make a decision to plan a place into an itinerary without your own prior knowledge of it. And that rather defeats the object. This book would have been much better with a tenth of that number and more selective, with the anectdotes and tips that make its sister publication so useful. The title is misleading, and playing on the sucessful franchise of its far better predecessor.
This is a catch-all gazetter of the coast, and nothing like 'The most amazing'
