Samuel Johnson famously observed that 'when a man is tired of
London, he is tired of life' and no one would deny that the city is
an exciting and stimulating place to live, offering a wealth of
diversions. However, even old Sam would no doubt agree that
sometimes you need a change of scenery - to escape the city's
constant hustle and bustle and visit somewhere with a gentler,
slower and quieter pace of life. When you yearn for some bracing
sea air or wish to commune with nature, experience life in an
idyllic village or imagine you're lord of the manor, get up close
and personal with some exotic wildlife or treat the kids to an
exhilarating day out, London Escapes will point you in the right
direction. Containing over 70 great day trips, from historical
towns and charming villages to magnificent stately homes and
gardens; nostalgic seaside resorts and lovely beaches to
spectacular parks and nature reserves - whether you're seeking
relaxation or adventure, town of country, ancient or modern, we
have the perfect day out for you. A plethora of tour operators
offer coach trips to major attractions from London - including some
of the destinations featured in this book - or you can travel by
private car. However, we believe in letting the 'train take the
strain', which is the most relaxing and often the fastest way to
travel. All the places highlighted can be reached in under two
hours by train (or car) and many in under an hour - usually by
direct trains. Travelling by car usually takes longer and you also
have the problem and added expense of parking. However, some
destinations, particularly those without a direct rail link from
London, are easier to reach by car (and one - Woburn Safari Park -
is only accessible by car), which also allows you to tour an area
and visit nearby attractions at the same time. A good day out
deserves a good lunch and London Escapes contains recommendations -
historic pubs, relaxing restaurants and cosy cafes - where you can
be assured of a tasty meal. Many venues - such as stately homes,
gardens and theme parks - also have on-site cafes/restaurants and
provide dedicated picnic areas. So, why not escape the city for a
day and explore the exciting world just an hour or two from your
doorstep? We trust that you will enjoy discovering it as much as we
did.
