Make the most of Norwich with this new guide to the sights and secrets of East Anglia’s premier city, from the unknown treasures of its magnificent cathedral to the legends and stories behind its historic pubs. It’s a place of numerous historical layers, with intrigue and interest lurking on every corner, from the black circus proprietor who inspired one of The Beatles’ most famous songs to remnants of England’s most notorious red-light districts. It’s eminently walkable, too, but you can also bike or even canoe your way around the centre, maybe even heading out to explore the natural beauty of Broads National Park which lies just beyond.
There's nowhere quite as cosy or as welcoming as the British pub, and with so many places reinventing themselves as contemporary inns there's never been a better time to stay in one. In conjunction with UK accommodation website Cool Places, this guide features the country's very best pubs where you can stay overnight - friendly, independently run places that serve great food and offer comfortable bedrooms to topple into at the end of the evening. Compiled by Rough Guides founder Martin Dunford and the Cool Places team of regional writers, each featured place has an incisive first-hand review and all the information you need for a comfortable stay - including suggestions for the best things to see and do nearby.
Greenwich is the one London district whose name resonates around the world. As 'the place where time began', everyone has heard of it, so naturally everyone wants to come here when they visit the capital. With a memorable and picturesque Thames-side location, its maritime history means that there's more to see here per square foot than any other outer London neighbourhood, and this new guide tells you how to do it. 111 Places not only tracks down the most interesting nuggets among Greenwich's mainstream sights, from the Cutty Sark to the Meridian Line, it also lifts the lid on the area's lesser-known attractions - from haunted Jacobean houses and mudlarking in Deptford Creek to classic pie and mash shops and famous riverside pubs. It explores beyond the confines of Greenwich town centre, turning up treasures like Henry VIII's favourite residence, Eltham Palace - now an Art Deco gem - and nearby engineering feats like the Thames Barrier. You could come to London and spend half your time in Greenwich, and we wouldn't blame you if you did. This book tells you how to make the most of London's maritime borough.
Britain is the spiritual home of glamping, with numerous options for a comfortable and often luxurious overnight stay. You can still enjoy a night in a bell tent or a tipi, and you're spoilt for choice with yurts, shepherds huts and all kinds of weird and wonderful pods and cabins. But you can also spend a night in a cosy gypsy caravan or luxury safari lodge, a firetruck or even a pre-dangled tent high in a tree. Glamping also doesn't just mean campsites, Boutique hotels and other accommodation have added treehouses, shepherds huts and various other options, and glamping is increasingly becoming a stylish alternative to a hotel or B&B, with many places boasting their own kitchens and en-suite facilities.
