The need for these guides came to me because I could find no handy single source on British counties that showed me the things to see and do, the places to stay, eat and drink, and that would add zing, interest and variety to my trip.

If you aim to enjoy the best a place can offer, as a weekender, tourer or holidaymaker then you must turn for help to the best-respected, independent authorities.These we have listed on the back cover. We have chosen 17 categories of information, that we believe will have the widest appeal, and succinctly summarized the results for you, with rating marks in six of them.

Now you can choose how to plan your own leisure from a total of up to 500 well-researched recommendations for 10 counties of England.

The map has a grid and every listing in the book has a grid reference as well as a postcode, location information and contacts. Armed with this you can find a listing for any symbol on the map or locate a symbol for any listing in the guide

.We believe you are now equipped to get more out of your visit to Cornwall than ever before because the Best of Britain, is simply, the Best there is.
