Extraordinary Places Close to London

Extraordinary Places Close To London offers a personal and unique view into the life and history of the counties around London, known as the Home Counties. The book is targeted at the more adventurous, sophisticated traveler who wants to explore little-known villages and small towns in the English countryside. The places covered are lesser-known, yet interesting and beautiful places to visit, steeped in mystery and legend -- including stories of kings and queens, Norsemen and witches. These tales are lovingly retold to enhance your visit and put it in context. The book includes directions on how to find the villages and what the visitor will find there today as well as some choice restaurants and pubs and, should you wish to stay the night, some very attractive inns and guest houses.
