'The definitive guide to Britain's quirky and rugged islands.
Islands have always had a mysterious allure - Peter has managed to
capture the magical essence of our old favourites and lesser known
gems.' Ed Stafford Islands represent adventure, mystery, wilderness
and escapism. Surrounded by water, they're somewhere to run away
to, to be marooned on, to find a paradise... The British Isles
includes some 194 inhabited islands (out of a total of over 6,000),
ranging from remote lost worlds to famous and popular holiday
spots. And Treasured Islands includes them all, in one enticing
package. This wonderfully comprehensive and inspiring guide starts
off with a Best of... section, highlighting the ten best islands
for foodies, wildlife, adrenaline-junkies and pure escapism. Then,
region by region, the author explores the UK's most wonderful
islands, including: Shetlands, Fair Isle, Orkneys, Outer Hebrides,
Inner Hebrides, Isle of Arran Lindisfarne, Isle of Man, Walney
Island Anglesey, Pembrokeshire Island Foulness and Canvey Islands
Isle of Sheppey, Lundy Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly, Channel
Islands, Islands of Ireland Tidal Islands (to include Burgh Island,
Holy Island and St Michael's Mount) Inland Islands (to include Eel
Pie, Derwent Isle and Peel Island in the Lake District) Remote
Islands Illustrated with beautiful colour photography, the text
ensures you won't miss out on must-see attractions, wildlife and
natural features, local food specialties, sporting activities, best
places to stay and eat, and all-important transport links to and
from the mainland, and other nearby islands. For some light relief,
there are interesting historical and cultural anecdotes woven
through, giving a fascinating insight into the way of life on these
sometimes remote settlements. 'A wonderful book filled with hidden
gems, helping us to connect with the majestic beauty of the British
coastline.' Levison Wood
