5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book 23 April 2010
By P. E. Blything
Format:Paperback
One of the problems with living in England is that you know there are wonderful places to visit, but often have absolutely no clue where they are, how to get to them or what to do if you ever find them!

This book gives you 52 fantastic weekends right around the coast of Britain, presented in a stunning format with photography that makes you want to see them all.

The book suggests you "do" all 52 weekends but even if you manage just a few, it's perfect for a lazy Sunday.
Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book 5 May 2010
By Danny Penman
Format:Paperback
If you're like me and are always searching for tucked-away little places on the coast then this is a wonderful book. I love travelling around Britain but sometimes feel as if I've seen everywhere so this book came as a bit of a surprise. I had no idea most of these places existed nor did I realise you could take the Hogwarts Express or go whale watching in Britain. I think it's fair to say that over the next few years I'll be spending an awful lot of time exploring our coast again.

My only concern with the book is it's going to get a bit battered in the back of the car (which might spoil the beautiful photos - but then it'll look even more loved, I suppose).

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational Reading!! 19 April 2010
By H. Astles
Format:Paperback
Really enjoying reading this book, it is inspiring us to see other parts of our fantastic coastline.
It seems really well researched as the book tells us new things about the places we thought we already knew. Nice photographs as well.
Highly recommended.
