This book is kind of great, we keep it on our coffee table, makes a great piece to simply pickup and plan a weekend or just to know what the UK is about.
 Good Ideas Book For Daytrips April 14, 2010
Richard Goring (UK)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is great for planning days out or weekends away. It covers a huge number of different places across the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and also some in Ireland. The vast bulk are in England, so not the balance that some people may hope for, yet there are still plenty of options elsewhere.
Pictures on every page are nice and help to draw you in, particularly when just flicking through for ideas. Each page has a half page prose about the area or attraction covered and then there are some key points to note such as location, cost, amount of walking/accessibility and things not to miss. Unforetunately, your geography has to be good as there are no maps to reference where each of the locations are, so a handy internet connection or atlas to check may be helpful.
It's a hardback bound book with a dust-jacket, so can be stuffed in a suitcase for weekend or holidays away without much worry about damage, althoug given the size and weight, it might not be too convenient to take out to each day trip with you.
Overall, it's a really good book to provide inspiration for places to go and things to do, just a shame about the lack of map.
Great book BUT February 3, 2010

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
destinations in England are dealt with in pages 8-284 but there is not a single map or breakdown as to areas other than a small colour strip on most of the top right hand pages. The strip for all the pages covering the whole of England is is purple with ENGLAND in bold then the region (such as Southeast) after that. As this is down the right edge it is not easily read.The small addition of a page detailing an area eg Southwest; Northwest etc would really improve what is a good reference book.
Very good book September 23, 2009
