The Country Living Guide to Rural England - The South East

Third edition. By Peter Long (Travel Publishing Ltd, £10.99)

The third edition to the Country Living Rural Guide to England - The South East has been completely redesigned with a striking new cover, more detailed information on places of interest throughout the book and an index at the start of each town/village so it is much easier to find what you are looking for.
The new edition has up-to-date information on the traditional English countryside in Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey. The guide takes the reader on a relaxed tour of the South East’s many pleasant villages and market towns, pointing out the attractive features of its varied countryside and coastline as well as describing the region’s history, heritage, culture and places of interest. The guide also provides readers with information on a carefully selected number of places to stay, eat, drink and shop. The book also offers a great selection of walks. The cover of the new edition incorporates a picture of Doves Farm House Nr Cranbrook, Kent.

The writer
Peter is an Oxford Classics graduate who dabbled briefly in financial planning before deciding that words are more appealing than numbers. He subsequently spent many years as an inspector and writer with Egon Ronay’s Hotels & Restaurants Guides before joining the Travel Publishing editorial team in 1998. He has written guides covering the West Country, Yorkshire, the North West of England, the Heart of England, the South East and South of England, Cambridgeshire and Wales.
