.Rural Rides (Penguin Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: William Cobbett

September 27, 2001
We think that recent decades have seen the greatest possible changes that mankind could possibly go through. We're wrong.

William Cobbett lived through an era that was breathtaking in the change that it experienced. The agrarian economy that had sustained the country for centuries was being pushed aside by the industrial revolution, indeed, agriculture was about to experience deep decline. In politics, the loss of the American colonies - the first step in the end of the Empire - still haunted the country. The age of patrician rule was about to yield - if no more than that - with the Reform Act of 1832.

Cobbett exemplifies the contradictions of this age - passionately opposed to 'modern' economics, yet deriding of the ... Read More:

.Scotland's Mountain Ridges: Scrambling, Mountaineering and Climbing - the Best Routes for Summer and Winter
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Dan Bailey

February 20, 2008
It's a great idea to collect the best ridges in Scotland into one book and it turns out there isn't space for them all in this one book - the appendix lists another 40 odd (mainly climbs). The book is written with a marvelous energy and joie de vivre that really draws you in; the maps are great and the photos too. It's a lovely book. I am a walker, not a climber, and, despite the subtitle, there are many routes in here suitable for reasonably experienced hillwalkers with a good head for heights. Do the winter routes as summer walks and Creise, Ring of Steall, Aonach Eagach, Liathach and many others become accessible to us mortals. Some additional route planning to cut out short climbing sections also opens up a number of the other routes given. Of ... Read More:

.Raw Spirit: In Search of the Perfect Dram
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Iain Banks

August 05, 2004
Waste of money. Self-indulgent, parochial, political. Rather buy something on whisky by Jim Murray or the late Michael Jackson. Any book on Scotland by anybody on earth, even if he is from Tierra del Fuego,would be better. And as for the author's friends, his youth, cars and his naive and fashionable politics- who cares and why does he think anybody else would?

.Sea to Sea Cycle Route Map: NCN C2C (National Cycle Network Route Maps)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Sustrans

2007-04
The definitive guide for the C2C bike ride. Good strip maps (careful - some are at different scales) with written guide to the main route and some of the alternative routes. One criticism of the map is that for some of the alternative surfaced routes it neglects the gradient information - so you can find yourself going up 1:4 hills that aren't marked as such on the map.

The enclosed stamp card is required for proof of trip - and collection of T-Shirt to mark your success!

.Guy Fox London Children's Map
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
from: Guy Fox Publishing

May 15, 2008
The Guy Fox Children's map was wonderful for my god-daughter during her visit to London. We both used it initially to choose where we wanted to visit and then to navigate between 'things to do' . We walked around parts of the city and with the map were able to discover fun things I didn't even know were there. The drawings are great and it is informative as well. I will definitely use the San Francisco map as I am off to visit there soon.

.Gardens of the National Trust
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Stephen Lacey

October 27, 2005
A very attractive coffe table book, full of high quality images. However, in terms of garden design and maintenance it is a little bit specialist for my taste. Overall, this is one for the garden historian rather than the gardener. Btw - a previous review questions why gardens belonging to the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) aren't included in the book. I suspect it's because NTS is an entirely seperate organisation from the National Trust for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, rather than the author not rating gardens north of the border.
