We are working on arranging our 5th auto tour of Great Britain. We like to tour castles, gardens, and stately homes. Hudsons is indispensible for trip planning. It describes all the castles, gardens, and stately homes that are open and gives all the information we need to plan our trip--what you will see, when they are open, admission costs, and how to get there. The photos are fantastic. We found our first Hudson's 8 years ago in the local library when we were planning our first trip. Since then, we've bought a new edition every second or third year. The 2006 version is our fourth copy. The two main references we use for traveling in the U.K. are the AA Road Atlas and Hudson's. That's really all you need. P.S. Driving on the wrong side of the road isn't as hard as you'd think. Follow other traffic as you leave the airport and for another hour or so, especially through your first few intersections or roundabouts, and you adapt pretty quickly. We can see so much more by planning a trip using Hudson's than we would ever see on a bus tour. We wouldn't think of heading "across the pond" without it.
