Author Description

This budget-travel guide to Great Britain and Ireland places an emphasis on getting readers off the beaten track, whether it's hiking in the wilds of Scotland or exploring the alternative nightlife of cities like Newcastle, Sheffield and Liverpool. It not only explains the basics of finding cheap food and lodging, but it also offers readers a look at Britain's quirkier side, from the great Yorkshire sport of ferret-legging to the huge rave parties held in meadows out in the country.
