'The definitive guide to Britain's quirky and rugged islands. Islands have always had a mysterious allure – Peter has managed to capture the magical essence of our old favourites and lesser known gems.' Ed Stafford
Islands represent adventure, mystery, wilderness and escapism. Surrounded by water, they're somewhere to run away to, to be marooned on, to find a paradise… The British Isles includes some 194 inhabited islands (out of a total of over 6,000), ranging from remote lost worlds to famous and popular holiday spots. And Treasured Islands includes them all, in one enticing package.
This wonderfully comprehensive and inspiring guide starts off with a Best of… section, highlighting the ten best islands for foodies, wildlife, adrenaline-junkies and pure escapism. Then, region by region, the author explores the UK's most wonderful islands, including:
- Shetlands, Fair Isle, Orkneys, Outer Hebrides, Inner Hebrides, Isle of Arran
- Lindisfarne, Isle of Man, Walney Island
- Anglesey, Pembrokeshire Island
- Foulness and Canvey Islands
- Isle of Sheppey, Lundy
- Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly, Channel Islands, Islands of Ireland
- Tidal Islands (to include Burgh Island, Holy Island and St Michael's Mount)
- Inland Islands (to include Eel Pie, Derwent Isle and Peel Island in the Lake District)
- Remote Islands
'A wonderful book filled with hidden gems, helping us to connect with the majestic beauty of the British coastline.' Levison Wood
