Britain's diverse and ancient heritage is immensely rich, and there are many beautiful, unspoilt, quirky and fascinating places that are less publicized and less visited than the more conventional attractions. This book celebrates these by guiding readers on an alternative tour of the country.
Britain's diverse and ancient heritage is immensely rich, and there are many beautiful, unspoilt, quirky and fascinating places that are less publicized and less visited than the more conventional attractions."Hidden Britain" celebrates these by guiding the reader on an alternative tour of the country, taking in archaeological sites, such as Cissbury Ring in West Sussex; stately homes, including the 17th-century Stanway House in Gloucestershire; pubs, such as Southwark's historic George Inn; and wildlife and nature reserves, including Britain's oldest nature reserve, Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire. In between is a colourful mix of museums, religious buildings, monuments and landscapes.Tom Quinn brings each location to life with his informed commentary on the fascinating architecture, eccentricities of local culture, breathtaking landscapes and mystical heritage of Britain. A full-colour map accompanies each chapter, and Chris Coe's stunning photography captures the unique character of each site.
