This guide is part of a series designed for the independent traveller who wishes to venture off the beaten track. It divides England and Wales into six regions in which several exploratory routes are described for four days travelling. These tours take the motorist or cyclist not only to the principal tourist sites but also to other less well-known but equally worthwhile destinations. Each region and tour is described with an outline of local history and topography and recommendations for places to stay and eat as well as enjoyable walks in the area. The introduction offers a selection of routes within easy reach of London and provides many practical tips. The author has also written "Off the Motorway" and "Children's Guide to London".
