Bright Lights, Big Cities

Enjoy everything that each of the UK's 76 cities has to offer with this delightful guide to day trips and weekend stays around the country. In Bright Lights, Big Cities, Peter Naldrett visits all 76 cities on the mainland British Isles - and a few furtherafield besides - to find out just why each of them deserves to be held up as the best of British. Our cities are a cornucopia of iconic landmarks, historic cathedrals, fascinating museums and fabulous eateries, and Peter looks at familiar places from an entirely new angle, as well as exploring the less well-known corners too. From Aberdeen to Armagh and Wakefield to Wrexham via London, Lincoln and Liverpool, the book covers the very best places to stay and eat, cultural gems from architecture to sports and theatre, parks and green spaces, as well as great places to take the kids. Ideal for planning a great day out, or a longer trip, Bright Lights, Big Cities tells you what not to miss, points out what you might have not discovered otherwise, and ultimately shows what makes each and every city special.
