Venture down the byways of Great Britain in this photographic tour of the most beautiful and charming towns in every region of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. Roam the countryside from the Norman castle towns of the southeast to the spectacular Roman architecture of Bath and St. Albans, and from Celtic cottage farms in the Scottish lowlands to the stone and iron towns of the Welsh borders and the north. Cultural historian Tom Aiken’s eloquent and informative text not only draws attention to aesthetic, natural, and architectural points of interest in every region, but also brings to life the history of each place, from Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon to the royal Cowes, the monastic abbeys of Yorkshire to prehistoric Ireland, and from the pagan past of the Scottish Highlands to the legends of Roman Britain. A thorough appendix provides travel tips and details and locations for hotels, restaurants, and shops of interest in all the towns.

280 pages, 300 color illustrations. 10 in. x 10 in. Hardcover; clothbound with jacket.
