With more Brits holidaying in the UK this year together with the influx of
foreign tourists due to the Jubilee and Olympics, information on the British
Isles is in much demand. This new offering from Rough Guides covering Bath,
Bristol & Somerset is a more than welcome addition to their renown
collection of Guides covering all corners of the world. The book covers a wide
area of this beautiful region, taking in the Bristol Channel coastline towns,
quaint villages off the beaten track, areas of natural beauty such as Exmoor and Cheddar, historical places such as Salisbury, Wells and Bath through to more modern, vibrant cities such as Bristol. The guide book really captures the diversity of the area and in turn makes it an attractive proposition to visit and explore.
The guide book is well set out, easy to follow and its wonderful colour pictures demonstrate the glorious sights to be seen such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the "must see" Royal Crescent in Bath. The information listed within gives relevant details on all attractions in the region, what each town has to offer, recommendations on Hotels and Restaurants taking into budget constraints. It also covers in more detail all the usual tourist attractions as well as the less known places that are worth a visit. The 50 plus colour maps in the guide are a tremendous asset making it easier to navigate the area.I feel this is as comprehensive a guide as you will get for the region and therefore recommend it for anyone planning to visit the area as it will further enhance their experience.
