• Cicerone National Trails England, Scotland & Wales 2008

    The publisher says: National Trails were established as part of the post-war program to keep areas of Britain "special" and to protect them from development. The first such route, the Pennine Way, opened in 1965, and since then another 14 have been designated in England and Wales, with a further 4 in Scotland. Together, the National Trails cover well over 5000 km (3100 mi), each one with unique qualities that explore the rich, scenic and historic countryside of Britain. Even the most dedicated long-distance walker would take over 200 days to walk them all, but most are happy to explore them one after another over several annual holidays. With its route descriptions, photographs and profiles, this book is not only an invaluable reference for anyone researching our National Trails, but is in itself a celebration of these wonderful routes across Britain's landscape. Paddy Dillon has walked all the National Trails twice, and keeps abreast of all the latest developments.

  • Best Bed & Breakfast England, Scotland, Wales 2008-2009

    The publisher says: From cottages in Cornwall to manor homes in the Scottish Highlands, hundreds of personally inspected residences are listed in this fully updated, lavishly illustrated guide to B&Bs throughout the United Kingdom. Savvy American travelers know that bed and breakfast accommodations offer great value, interesting locations, and unique hospitality in private homes. Organized alphabetically by county, the hundreds of B&Bs listed here range from splendid Tudor houses and modern city apartments to quaint 19th-century cottages and country pubs. Many accept children and pets; some serve dinner in addition to a full English breakfast; some have magnificent views, a swimming pool, or babysitting services. Best of all, no two are alike. All homes listed in the guide have been reviewed by the Worldwide Bed & Breakfast Association, and all information on rates and amenities has been updated. Each entry includes a detailed description of the home and setting; fully updated information on rates, amenities, and other practical details; and a color photograph. Road maps of each county clearly show the location of each B & B. This is the best reference available for travelers in England, Scotland, and Wales who enjoy B&B accommodations.
