The Hidden Places of Cornwall has been completely redesigned to include a new cover and new page layouts. Now in it's 6th edition, the book is one of the Hidden Places Series best sellers. The Hidden Place sof Cornwall is printed in full colour and includes detailed directional maps, eye-catching photographs and is packed with places to eat, drink and stay. The Hidden Places of Cornwall includes all the main tourist attractions as well as concentrating on the less well-known visitor attractions in this beautiful county. The stunning county of Cornwall has been called "an isolated beauty that contains some the most dramatic and spectacular scenery in the country". Rugged coastlines surround this striking county which has often been referred to as the 'English Riviera' encompassing pretty fishing ports, secluded scenic villages, narrow winding lanes and strong, romantic seafaring traditions. This is a land of strong Celtic heritage and ancestry, a place that is dotted with monuments such as crosses, holy wells and prehistoric sites and where legends of old still hold their romance amongst the Cornish people.The previous edition received excellent reviews - "the guide will help people find the holiday nooks and crannies which can make a visit to the area such a joy, whatever the weather brings" - Cornish and Devon Post. The book is packed with information covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, drink, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the region. The new edition includes a very attractive redesigned cover that incorporates an eye-catching photograph of The Old Lifeboat Station In Lizard, Cornwall.

This review is from: HIDDEN PLACES OF CORNWALL: A beautifully illustrated guide taking you on a relaxed but informative tour of Cornwall (Paperback)

This probably should not be one's primary guide to visiting Cornwall, but as a supplement with more information and background details about the lesser-known places, this book will enrich the experience of someone who is going to spend more than a few days there.
