Review:
Since the Conservative party lost power in 1997, Britain has had an unmistakably upbeat air, celebrated in the press as "Cool Britannia". Yet even without these cultural innovations--its vibrant music scene and burgeoning film industry, its fashionable new restaurants and bars--Britain would still be an attractive destination. Its countryside offers a vast variety of delights, from traditional village pubs to lakes, hills and prehistoric stone circles. Although England is a likely first destination (London is Europe's largest capital city) a trip to Great Britain would not be complete without an exploration of Scotland and Wales, the two other countries that make up its mainland (Ireland has its own volume: Ireland: the Rough Guide). "The moment you cross the border into predominantly rural Wales, you are aware that you have entered a Celtic land," while Scotland offers both tantalising countryside and the "cosmopolitan and cultured" city of Edinburgh.
Review:
The Rough Guides, aimed at independent travellers of all ages on all budgets, set out to "do something different": provide practical information and an insight into contemporary culture, mixing hard fact with irreverent humour. Britain: The Rough Guide includes maps, travel and accommodation guides, several pages of glossy photographs and a "Contexts" section containing a fascinating history of Britain.--Daren King
Classic guide...sound information for the inbound tourist, or the Londoner who wants to plan a holiday in Argyll. -- The Times, 25 March 2000, London, UK
