One of the great things about visiting England is that you can enjoy all the sophistication of a large city like London, but still get out into the countryside relatively quickly and inexpensively.

Even more fascinating is the wealth of historical towns and villages, and still more fascinating is the breadth of their history, from Roman and Medieval times, to Renaissance, Georgian, Regency, and Victorian.

One Hundred & One Beautiful Towns in Great Britain (101 Beautiful Small Towns) is a wonderful book which captures some of the most picturesque towns in the UK, and comes complete with a full appendix on essentials you need to know before you go. It also covers Scotland and Wales, not just England, giving you a taste of the more exotic Celtic locales.

So whether you are an armchair traveler and just want to look at the gorgeous pictures, or you can’t wait to go, this is a great coffee table book and trip planner.
