by Tom Chesshyre As staff travel writer on The Times, Tom Chesshyre hasd visited over 80 countries on assignment, but wondered how much he really knew about the country on his doorstep. Were there destinations still to discover close to home? In a series of made adventures that took him from Hull to Hell (actually a rather nice holiday location inthe Isles of Scilly) and back again, Tom visited secret spots of Unsung Britain. He explored Blade Runner Britain in Port Talbot, learned that everything's quite green in Milton Keynes, came to his Wit's End (a quirky guesthouse) in Slough, met a real-life superhero and watched a football match with celebrity chef Delia Smith in Norwich. Tom embraces the unfashionable bits of Britain, and finds plenty to write home about. Published by Summersdale at £8.99 |
