Synopsis

This is the 4th edition of a Hidden Places title covering Berkshire & Oxfordshire. Berkshire is a county offering the visitor rolling downland and tiny picturesque villages in the west and a combination of unspoiled countryside and historic towns by the Thames in the east. Oxfordshire is famous for its medieval capital city of "dreaming spires" but possesses a rich diversity of scenery, history and architecture from the edge of the Cotswolds in the West, through the long rich reaches of the Thames, to the sweeping downlands in the east. The book explores the history, scenery and cultural heritage of these counties which surround the river Thames and is also full of information on the more secluded and little known venues for food, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the area. Readers have been very pleased with previous editions - " It is such a lovely browsing book that I have already put the kettle on for coffee and a dip-in." - a reader from Maidenhead, Berkshire. The attractive cover design is based on a watercolor painting of the Thames at Henley
