501 Great Days Out in the UK & Ireland

“This book is an invaluable source of inspiration for anyone planning a day out in the UK or Ireland. Whether you want to keep  children occupied during the school holidays or prefer a peaceful meander through beautigul countryside, thre is a day out her to suit everyone.

There is such a wealth of places to see and things to do in the islands of Britain and Ireland that we really are spoilt for choice. Palaces, castles, museums, churches, stately homes and gardens are all part of the extraordinarily rich heritage that we are privileged to enjoy. Combined with the enourmous variety of landscapes, seascapes, villages, towns and cities, when planning a day out we are therefore presented with thousands of choices. There are zoos, wildlife parks and aquariums to visit, picturesque train journeys to take, caves to explore, mountains to climb and cathedrals to wonder at.
Some of the suggested days out, like visiting the Tower of London, are well known traditions. Others are more unusual – like visiting an auction, going to the races, or a trip to Portmeirion, the surreal italianate Welsh fantasy village.”
