Great guide
I like rough guides as they give concise & relevant information
Great overview
If you’re planning a day out to a new city / seaside or a weekend trip to another part of the UK this is great to check out highlights and organise your trips. Used it for 6 places this summer and there’s just enough to give you plenty of choice for a day out
A good read
Great informative book however I wanted a road map book this is not that
