Editorial Reviews

Review

"I think your book is wonderful. I have bought two already for other people. I found it really useful when we went to Yorkshire. You seem to pick out the right places to include." - a reader from Lymm, Cheshire "May I congratulate you on this book. Although I was under the impression that I knew Yorkshire pretty well, I have found many new and interesting snippets in the Yorkshire & Humberside edition." - a reader in Malton

This review is from: HIDDEN PLACES OF YORKSHIRE: Including the Dales, the Moors and the Coast (Paperback)

I haven't traveled to Yorkshire since buying this guide, so I haven't had a chance to verify all the info for myself, but it is a pleasant, easy-to-read guide. I'm bothered by the number of typos in it, as well as that much of the information is very vague (mentioning sites without maps or directions for finding them), but I do feel it's helping me plan my itinerary. Word of warning: I bought this as well as Hidden Inns of Yorkshire, and the content is largely duplicative. I'd recommend one or the other - not both.
