Customer Reviews

Too big a coutry, too small a book
While England is quite small there is an awfull lot packed into it. The same cannot be said of this book. Many areas of the country are very short on detail. I think that a visitor may find it useful as long as they realise that they will also be missing a lot if they only use this book. There seems to be a lot of detail on just London while counties such as Norfolk have very little information. As with most Lonely Planet books it is good to have but it would be better to seek more information on the spot.

Amusing and informative guide to England
This chunky guide is an well-structured guide to the main tourist areas of England. There are plenty of amusing illustrations and insights into quirky areas of our island's cultural life.

On a practical level I have could have done with more photos and maps, but the info on places such as Oxford and Cambridge was more than enough to provide a enjoyable visit for day-trippers

Lonely Planet England
A very informative guide book on all, or most, of the interesting places in England. Especially the interviews of local people bring the book more insight. What was sadly left out, were the Channel Islands, which was a bit of a dissapointment. Otherwise a ver intertaining read.
