The Delights of East Anglia
A great guide to the delights of a county we moved to 3 years ago and are still discovering.
With its clear and concise layout, really useful info including the obvious stuff you'd expect to find - places to stay, eat etc.- and the less obvious like things to do with children or how to avoid them and personal comments from people who are in the know, it will be an invaluable guide for those who spend a short break here or choose to settle, as we have.
Just a small glitch opposite page 17 where something about the River Exe has crept in - or did we move to the wrong county??
I borrowed it from the library but was so impressed, decided to have our own, reasonably priced copy.
The best one we've found so far.

Best of Britain - East Anglia
The book was for my wife, before a short holiday in Norfolk. It was a great success. It contained all we wanted - places to see and visit. Stuff for adults and kids of various ages. Places to eat, drink and foodie places to buy goodies. Nothing seemed to be missed out. Our only disappointment concerned the Red Lion pub near Newmarket. It sounded brilliant in the book! It was rather out of the way but we did find it - the place had closed down though:-(

Useful and comprehensive guide
This is a useful and comprehensive guide and we will not be stuck for things to do in East Anglia again. Although it seems rather a confusing layout at first, it is logical once you get the hang of it. Also, it mentions various places which are not necessarily obvious - hidden gems, I suppose they are called.

My only criticism is that it covers rather too wide an area for us. We are mainly interested in Suffolk. That is not the fault of the guide of course! but it means that this is probably a better guide for car touring than biking or walking.
