Crimson `Best of Britain` Guides

Crimson Publishingโ€™s `Best of Britain` series encompasses a range of guides covering Britainโ€™s regions, exploring some of the best places to eat, find organic and local produce, as well as things to do in wet weather, places to stay and local legends, festivals and pubs. The guides are particularly child-friendly, with a range of activities for those visiting with children. Extensive introductory sections cover factual information about the region, with details of when to go, getting there and around, accommodation, food and drink, festivals and annual events, travelling with children, activities, organised holidays and courses and further practical tourist guidance. A background section also offers insights into the areaโ€™s history, geography and geology, wildlife and habitats, culture and local heroes. The main guide section of each title is organised geographically by region, with a list of โ€˜unmissable highlightsโ€™ in the region opening each chapter, so readers can see the main highlights at a glance. โ€˜What to see and doโ€™ sections are arranged under โ€˜fair weatherโ€™ and โ€˜wet weatherโ€™, to allow visitors the flexibility to plan their trip accordingly. Each guide in the series incorporates a number of themed maps such as recommended restaurants and gastro-pubs, things to do with children and historical experiences. โ€˜Photo Essaysโ€™ โ€“ a series of colour photographs documenting the regionโ€™s highlights โ€“ are also included, exploring the local landscape, countryside and where appropriate, coastline.
