REVIEW: The Rough Guide to Great Britain
Click HERE to download the Rough Guide to Great Britain
Viking knees-ups, crumbling castles and dizzyingly diverse cities: for a small place, Great Britain packs a lot in. The long history of these islands is visible around every corner, in ancient stone circles and genteel seaside resorts, soot-blackened sites of Victorian industry and cutting-edge modern art galleries. Great Britain is full of surprises, and this fully updated Rough Guide will lead you down twisting alleyways, along precipitous coast paths and over heather-strewn moorland to find the very best it has to offer.
