Guide Review - History and Landscape: The National Trust Guide
That National Trust is a uniquely British institution - a membership organization that protects everything from stately homes and beautiful gardens to landscapes in Snowdonia and stretches of the Cornish Coast.
Every few years, their very well written and gorgeously illustrated guidebook is updated to include recent acquisitions. This edition includes John Lennon's childhood home, Mendips, and William Morris's Red House, among other treasures.
Almost any vacation in the UK is bound to include at least one - and usually more than one - National Trust property. This book, a kind of National Trust bible, will tempt anyone touring in the UK.
