Discovering Britain


COLLINS
DISCOVERING BRITAIN
ROAD ATLAS AND GUIDE
Britain is a beguiling group of islands, packed with mountains, moors, rivers, forests, and lakes brimming over with plants and wild life and enclosed by miles of beautiful coast lines.
Antiquities seems to have sprouted out of the ground to merge with the surrounding landscape: cathedrals, created by illusion, ancient castles placed in improbable positions, gardens, museums, theme parks and thousands of other places of entertainment, all a rich bounty for residents and visitors alike.
Th book locates, describes and identifies many places to visit in Britain and reminds us that getting out and about is not necessarily a summer activity.
We discover Britain by regions, finding information on over 1300 places to visit.
There are useful indices's, phone numbers and websites, route planning mapping, road mapping, urban area maps, central city maps to London, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow, and town and city maps ranging from Aberdeen and Bath to Worcester and York, and lastly an index to place names and places of interest.
The opening pages look at National nature reserves, areas of out standing natural beauty, geological sites and national parks, fields and hedge rows chalk downs and wood lands, sea cliffs and beach.
An out standing reference work.
