“In today’s mobile society, England – the unchanging, rock-solid England that is one of the most civilised and beautiful countries in the world – is now an open secret.  But there are still out-of-the-way and unspoilt places for the discerning traveller to visit, and Bryn Frank’s exceptional knowledge often country makes this a particularly valuable new guide.
Starting with Essex, he goes north to the edge of Scotland, down to the West Country, across southern England and back to London.  It is a tour in which his personal impressions of the people he meets and the places he sees combine agreeably with practical information about the country which any traveller or tourist will appreciate.  In addition, there is a full introduction, a special chapter on England’s coast and islands, and a thematic section comprising the making of England, mysterious England, and castles, houses and gardens.
