Description
|
|
|
|
There are nearly 40 inhabited islands off the coast of England and Wales, and dozens of other uninhabited ones. Some are well-known commercial, financial, and holiday destinations—the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight—while others are small, remote, and mysterious, like the Farne Islands, the Scilly Isles, or Lundy. But nearly all are reasonably accessible, and this abundantly illustrated book provides a guide to them, with details of their geology, history, flora and fauna, inhabitants, and customs. It is also a practical book with information on how to get there, where to stay and eat, island walks and architecture, sights to see, and details of relevant websites and contacts. "Julian [Holland] has done a fine job on a coffee table book laden with color photographs and packed with details of the islands.... Attractive and appealing."—Western Daily Press
