The Hidden Places of East Anglia is a beautifully
illustrated guide and explores the counties of Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire in a relaxed narrative
style. It contains a wealth of interesting information on
the history, the countryside, the towns and villages and the
established visitor attractions, but it also focuses on
promoting the lesser known places of interest and places to
stay, eat and drink.
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 with its meandering tidal rivers
and numerous streams, brooks and gullies. Essex is a county
that historically has a rich maritime tradition 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.
