The Hidden Places of
East Anglia contains a wealth of
interesting information on the history, the
countryside, the towns and villages and the more
established places of interest. But it
also promotes the more secluded and little known
visitor attractions and places to stay, eat and
drink many of which are easy to miss unless you
know exactly where you are going.
East Anglia
offers plenty for the visitor to explore in real
Hidden Places country. Directly to the north of
London, the region has preserved much of its
unspoilt character, rural landscape,
architecture and traditions. It is home to
England's oldest recorded town - Colchester,
alongside the historic cities
of Cambridge, Norwich and Peterborough.
Traditional market towns and
picturesque villages abound -
home to fine examples of architecture -
timber-framed, flint, thatch and weather-boarded
buildings.
Norfolk is rightly famous for the
Norfolk Broads, but this county of expansive
horizons also offers visitors gentle rolling
hills, a beautiful coastline with picturesque
views and countryside rich in wildlife and
nature. Suffolk is blessed
with incomparable rural beauty. Meandering tidal rivers and numerous streams,
brooks and gullies intersect a land blended with
low hills and vast open spaces. Suffolk
was made famous by the brush of John Constable
and his paintings reflect the sheer beauty and
tranquillity of this attractive county. Essex is
a county that has rich maritime history going
back as far as Roman Times, and in Colchester,
possesses the oldest recorded town in England.
Cambridgeshire is most famous for
its ancient university as well as being the
birthplace of Oliver Cromwell and Samuel Pepys.
The county offers a wealth of peaceful and
attractive countryside with many towns and
villages steeped in history and tradition.
We include
hotels, bed & breakfasts, restaurants, pubs,
bars, teashops and cafes as well as historic
houses, museums, gardens and many other
attractions throughout the area, all of which
are comprehensively indexed.
The cover of
this edition features picturesque sailing boats
at high tide at Blakeney in Norfolk. |
