Publisher's Synopsis
This is a wonderful book: as crystal clear as a mountain stream, as colourful as a rainbow and as packed full of fascinating historical detail as – a World Heritage site. It is based on a real need: there is no other book yet in print that examines the twenty seven designated World Heritage sites in the British Isles. This book is not merely a riveting read but an essential accompaniment to understanding these marvellous British locations. — Professor Denis Judd in BBC History Magazine
