The Hidden Places of England is a beautifully illustrated guide and explores the counties of England 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.

Need help planning a 'staycation' holiday this year? It is perhaps no surprise that England has a wealth of ideal destinations for any kind of staycation.  Whether you're a history buff, culture vulture or foodie you will find something new in this guide to the out-of-sight and out-of the-way in merry old England.

History buff

England is teeming with places of historical significance, tradition and ancient legend. The Hidden Places of England takes a look at some great historic sites to visit across the regions. From the mysterious White Horse at Uffington (p210) to Carisbrooke Castle, Newport (p140), from Wheal Coastes (p42) to Castlerigg Stone Circle (p53) and the prehistoric coastline of Devon (p70) – England has it all in abundance.  England is also replete with ancient legends, none more so than in the South West that has strong links to possibly the chief myth of Britain, the Arthur legend.  Somerset (p224) in particular claims to be the ‘Land of Legend’ and on route to Glastonbury (p228) are a series of signboards welcoming all to ‘The Ancient Avalon’.

Culture vulture

When it comes to culture York (p294) is ahead of the game. A thoroughly modern city in one respect, York uses its historical background to its full potential with an exciting mix of new and old coming together in some culturally diverse displays and museums.

Foodie

Whether you’re a curry connoisseur, partial to a gastropub Sunday lunch or prefer afternoon tea, look no further than the Hidden Places of England for inspiration on places to eat and drink.

Energetic

For a bracing and beautiful coastal walk, Northumberland (p192) is without compare. There is a particularly pleasant walk along the coastal footpath from the fishing village of Craster (p197), to the mighty ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Spring is a wonderful time to visit when dune flowers bloom and seabirds are breeding.

Naturalist

On a bright sunny day why not pack a flask or picnic and head off to Seaton (p73), part of the unspoilt Axe Valley. From Seaton, the South West Coast Path follows the coastline and is considered by naturalists as the last and largest wilderness on the southern coast of England; this area of unstable cliffs, wood and scrub is a haven for wildlife.
