Michelin Green Guide Great Britain
Ref: MCH1541
This is an example of the format of the Michelin Green Guides.
Well established authoritative tourist guides these include practical information, detailed mapping combined with colour photographs and illustrations.
Below is the introduction to the guide from the publisher.
Great Britain, composed of the ancient nations of England, Scotland and Wales, is proud of its prestigious history and rich heritage which find expression in the elaborate pageantry of state occasions.
The dynamism of modern society enriched by cultural diversity fosters innovation and enterprise. In a vibrant cultural scene explosive new talent in the fields of art, music and fashion complements the artistic treasures displayed in museums and stately homes.
The British embrace leisure pursuits with gusto; national sports such as cricket, tennis, rugby and football have an enthusiastic following. The relaxed atmosphere of pubs and country fêtes is quintessentially British.
The picturesque villages, landscaped parks and old market towns steeped in the pastoral tradition provide a welcome respite from the bustling cities. A rich architectural legacy from the industrial revolution is being adapted to modern uses. The old fishing villages and ancient seaports are redolent of the adventurous spirit of a maritime people who sailed to the four corners of the earth. An extensive coastline of curving beaches, secluded coves and spectacular cliffs, the bleak moors of the West Country, the flat wetlands of the East Anglian fens, the "sublime and beautiful" Lake District, and the rugged mountains of Wales and Scotland promote a range of exciting activities.
