.Bollocks to Alton Towers: Uncommonly British Days Out
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Jason Hazeley, Robin Halstead, Joel Morris, Alex Morris

March 02, 2006
I searched for this book under 'comedy' and have to say it hardly raises the mouth corners at any point or at least the third I read didn't. I'm sure it's well written and it's factual and informative but if you are looking for Jeremy Clarkson style quick wit then it's not for you.

.The Peak District: Leisure Walks for All Ages (Jarrold Short Walks Guides): Leisure Walks for All Ages (Jarrold Short Walks Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Kevin Borman, Hugh Taylor

June 29, 2001
This is definitely the best of the Peak district walking books. Firstly the large scale map indicates where in the Peak District the walk begins; useful for choosing walks close to your location. The books give useful background on the geology or history of the walk you are undertaking. The walks are interesting and scenic and cover a large range of walking ability. All walks are clearly colour coded in three ranges of difficulty to make choosing your challenge easy. The maps of the walks are clear and in colour. Most importantly the descriptions are clear and match the terrain so the ususal confusion of," Which way now?" is avoided. However a compass, whistle, correct clothing and informing someone of your intended route are a must for everyone.

.Lake District: Walks (Pathfinder Guide): Walks (Pathfinder Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: Brian Conduit, Neil Coates

March 01, 1990
I really like this guide - A good range of clearly graded walks. The directions for the walks I've completed so far are clear and backed up with the inclusion of sections from Ordnance Survey maps. It's very hard to go wrong.

I'm neither an expert walker/hiker nor particularly knowledgeable about the Lake District; so I find the guide great for giving me ideas for places to go and see. Have enjoyed every walk I've chosen. (Just got back from a trip where I did the Coniston Old Man/Water route. It was excellent; varied terrain and a good length to make sure I burnt off the calories from the pub meal of the previous night!!)

.Dublin (Lonely Planet City Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
from: Lonely Planet Publications

April 01, 2008
We found the LP guide to Dublin to be as accurate and informative as all the others we've used.

Information is presented in a very easy to follow format. Recommendations are to be relied upon. We tried a Lebanese restaurant in the book and had a truly delicious meal. We booked a lodge on LP recommendation and it was exactly as described in the book. We did a walking tour in the book and it was brilliant.

I don't think I could actually do a sightseeing holiday now without LP as a companion. I'd feel lost without one.

This is a great map for a haulage company. But we have discovered there are several ferry routes missing in Scotland. All the English routes appear to be there? The AA should do better than this.

.British Hotels, Inns and Other Places (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom

October 25, 2007
Thanks to Alistair Sawday I have much more room on the bookshelf; the AA, RAC, Michelin and Johansens books won't be needed again so they have all taken a long holiday to the charity bookshop!

Sawday's British Hotels & Inns is much more then a book; it is a guide that will change your attitude towards `going away' forever. In the past trying to find a nice place to stay was always the job of my wife who would spend hours researching places, but now there is a sprint to the bookshelf to find this book whenever we decide to go anywhere.

Once I've found somewhere I like the feel of I don't even bother doing any additional research...what's the point, the guys at Alistair Sawday have done it all for you. When you initially read this ... Read More:

.Caravan and Camping Britain (AA Lifestyle Guides) (AA Lifestyle Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > United Kingdom
by: AA Publishing

January 31, 2008
Camping is a somewhat re-visited activity and, over the years, I'm used to 'AA' books, which are, generally, reliable and offer a list of places to troll through, so I grabbed the book off the shelf without really looking at it! Fool that I am.


Now, this is a book, right?... and you are meant to be able to read it easily, right?... OK, yes I wear 'readers' but the print is still somewhat small and the font could have been better, but my gripe is with the symbols for what each site offers...they are truly small and difficult to distinguish, especially in low light. The symbols are the key and worth a thousand words, so should be crystal! AND...what about dogs?...OK it has a symbol for 'dog exercise area', so one assumes dogs are welcome at these ... Read More:
