There's so much to love about Britain: medieval castles with perfectly manicured gardens. Hearty English breakfasts. Those distinctive red telephone boxes. London's energy, cozy pubs serving traditional cask ales, savory pasties, Celtic crosses poking up from green pastures, a rough-and-tumble rugby match. With transporting text and hundreds of full-color photographs, 365 Days in Great Britain captures the country in all its tradition and modernity, the deep-rooted culture, the spirit, the singular charm. From the Scottish Highlands to the Cornwall coast, from the intellectual energy of Cambridge to Merseyside, where the Beatles drew inspiration, it's a holiday on the other side of the pond.

Book Description
Storied old castles and quaint country cottages. The stiff upper lips (and fuzzy hats!) of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Abbey ruins crumbling into bucolic pastures. Convivial games of cricket, soaring cathedrals, cutting-edge London, fanciful topiary gardens, Shakespeare's legacy, the pleasure and camaraderie of a pint at the corner pub. 365 Days in Great Britain captures the essence of England, Scotland, and Wales—the deep-rooted history, the vibrant culture, the singular British charm—in hundreds of full-color photographs. From Norfolk to Scotland's Clyde Valley, from the Isle of Man to Dyfed in Wales, it's a year-long holiday.

From the Back Cover
ANCIENT CASTLE RUINS, COZY PUB SIGNS, THE COTTAGES, THE GREENERY
Spend a year on the other side of the pond. Glamorgan's lush green valleys. Brightly painted beach huts in Southwold. London hustle and bustle, royal watching, the exquisitely manicured gardens of Sussex, Yorkshire's moors. "Toad in the Hole" and "Bubble and Squeak." Glorious old chuches, rowing on the Thames, and George Eliot's Warwickshire: "Sweet spring came to Milby notwithstanding: the elm tops were red with buds; the churchyard was starred with daisies; the lark showered his love-music on the flat-fields."
Featuring engaging text by Phillip Hoffhines and hundreds of full-color photographs, 365 DAYS IN GREAT BRITAIN celebrates the proud history, warm spirit, and quirky charms of England, Scotland and Wales. For Anglophiles, this is the best place to be—their lively, beloved Britain. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: 365 Days in Great Britain Calendar 2009 (Picture-A-Day Wall Calendars) (Calendar)
One of my great regrets is that I've never made it to Britain -- yet. But, I buy the 365 Days calendar each year and take a different trip there every month. This is a marvelous calendar, chock-a-block with beautiful photos. Buy it and enjoy.

My boyfriend and I went to the UK this past June-July, and last year this calendar was one of his Christmas presents. It was so fun to look forward to the trip when we checked the calendar each day, and fun to reminisce about the places we'd seen when we returned.I highly recommend the calendars in this series as gifts for those who are planning trips to the region.
