.England (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: David Else

March 01, 2007
I haven't had a problem with the accuracy and the usefulness of the information in this Lonely Planet guide to England. I have no complaints there. The prices and the opening times are right. The recommendations insightful and the options presented (more or less) clearly.
My only complaint is that the depth of information is quite limited and the maps don't often cover more than the very city town centre of most locations.
I can understand that the book can only be so big but really, who wants to carry around a chapter of England's history when you travel and then resort to a series of additional maps and guide information. If you're going to carry this great hunking book when you travel, take it to read as well as as your guide ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to Wales (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

by: Mike Parker, Paul Whitfield

May 25, 2006
This is probably the best Rough Guide I've ever used and there have been many!

It really is all you need to find your way round this dazzling country,at least for a first visit.
Wales is surely a land of contrasts but if you make this guide your companion there should be few surprises.
As ever it is very strong on arrival,accommodation and restaurants although we did experience an unpleasant restaurant in Conwy it was for the most part extremely reliable.

The maps of town centres are invaluable and make sure you find time to read the history section before you go.

We spent a week in St Davids and a week in the Conwy valley this month and referred to this book constantly. For example it suggests ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to Wales (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Very good indeed. As usual Rough Guides put Lonely Planet to shame.

I've lived in Swansea for a year now and discovered things I never knew by reading this book!

Great for planning days out - no nonsense advice.

.Cool Camping Wales: A Hand Picked Selection of Exceptional Campsites and Camping Experiences

by: Jonathan Knight

April 01, 2007
Around three years ago my partner and I decided to go camping in Wales, revisiting a site he had stayed at many years ago. It turns out that we were cool even then, but didn't know it. After many enjoyable visits we began to consider the possibility of going to ... other sites. But where to start? A few tentative searches on the internet and a leaf through the Rough Guide confirmed our suspicions. We were cowards. What we wanted was for someone to nudge us in the ribs and point us towards campsites with stunning views, friendly owners and like-minded souls. And tell us what we could do if it rained. And give us a sneak preview of the place whilst not spoiling too much.

Well, Cool Camping does just that. The first few pages allow you ... Read More:

.Wales (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: David Atkinson, Neal Wilson

1. No accurate address and post code of sites.
2. Phone numbers of sites are without prefix, if you're not local you will never know how to call them.
3. Importent sites are missing (even when there is a review of the area, somethimes it just doesn't direct you where to go).
4. Cheap editing, the editor wanted the earn few extra pence and gathered the pictures into groups of pages. The outcome - you can read about a place and then try to find a picture somewhere in the book, if there is one (instead of having the picture next to the site description). I wouldn't mind to pay an extra pound in order to see where I'm going...

Luckily, I have found few nice places online and the most importene thing - the Welsh have very good ... Read More:
