Format:Paperback
The best characteristic of these guides - I have many - is the clear relationship between the numbered sites of interest on a local map and the text about these sites . This structure makes planning touring around very efficient and easy .
The worst is the over abundance of photographs . More text please with details of places .

We found this to be quite a useful guide on our first trip to the area. It is full of interesting facts and suggestions of places to visit. However, because it covers such a large area, it does just give you a flavour of the region.
