Secret Britain is an exploration of the fascinating and beautiful, yet more obscure and less-visited, corners of the country. Landscapes and heritage sites that receive little coverage in more conventional guides are revealed here in all their glory, and there is a diverse range of locations to suit every mood.

Travel from the rugged beaches of Cornwall to the ancient burial sites of the Orkney Islands, and in between encounter an enticing mix of wild hills and spectacular coastlines, ancient castles and stately homes, tiny churches and magnificent abbeys, wide estuaries and hidden valleys, and many other little-known gems that add to the breath-taking landscapes and buildings that make up the heritage of England, Wales and Scotland. Each chapter in the book, which is now made available again in paperback, is accompanied by a lively commentary by Tom Quinn, a full-colour map, and Chris Coe's beautiful photography, which captures the unique character of each site. Suggestions for places to stay and nearby attractions are also included.

Tom Quinn has edited several magazines including The Countryman, and has written numerous books, including Britain's Best Walks. Chris Coe is an established photographer specializing in landscape, travel and people. He has several publications to his name, including Eccentric Britain.
