5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant guide ... just heavy to carry! 4 Dec 2001
By glennkesby@onetel.net.uk
Format:Paperback
For those new to the DK Eyewitness books I cannot recommend them highly enough for their clear guide content, pictures, diagrams and information. I have found that it replaces the need to buy a guide book in many attractions (eg Westminster Abbey) as there is sufficient info contained to satisfy most travellers' interests. The guide is broken down neatly into regions with basic maps which makes it easy to use when on a driving holiday or planning your day's itinerary. On the downside, the 672 glossy pages, though beautiful, get very heavy in your backpack etc when you are on your feet all day.

In summary, I love these guides and search for them first when visiting anywhere new.

A final note to answer another's review, there are separate guides for Scotland, Ireland, London etc that cover those areas in more detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide 9 Oct 2008
By T. Bently VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
A huge amount of effort and research has gone into this chunky guide. Just choosing the pictures must have been a mammoth task: they're all up to date, in colour and give a clear idea of the delights of the various cities and attractions.

I used to work in a visitor information office in Wales and found the section on South Wales particularly well done, especially since it's an area off the typical tourist track. The only thing which let it down was the hotel recommendations. They tend to be in areas often way outside of town and city centres, so aren't much use to those travelling without cars.

It may be a little heavy to carry round with you, but it's ideal as a reference source if you're at home researching a trip and want to sort out an itinary. Well done again Dorling Kindersley!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Travel Companion 17 Nov 2007
By VAMP'hotography
Format:Paperback
I brought this book purely for what was written on the cover.
And I'm glad I did. The pictures make the book far more interesting to read and I've gone through is several times and continue going back to it as soon as I'm bored and need to go somewhere.
Big recommendation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good in parts
Great for an overview but lacking in depth for all but large attractions. Some errors i.e. Royal Show shown in 2011 edition when event ended in 2009.

1.0 out of 5 stars too many pics

2.0 out of 5 stars Old style drawings, and not up to date info
They are using the same drawings and maps that in older editions. The pictures feel old, like if they were taken in the 80s, or printed with the 80s technology. Read more
