The Hidden Inns of the South of England: Including Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (Hidden Inns S.)

Another title in the Hidden Inns series of regional guides, which will eventually cover "hidden" pubs and inns throughout the United Kingdom. The series originates from the enthusiastic suggestions of the landladies and landlords of inns reviewed in the Hidden Places series of travel guides and from Hidden Places readers who want to be directed to traditional inns with atmosphere and character, which are so much a part of our British heritage. The inns reviewed in the book may have been coaching inns and have definitely been a part of the history of the village or town in which they are located for many, many years. All of the inns reviewed have been visited by a Travel Publishing researcher and all serve food and drink. Many also offer the visitor accommodation.

The Hidden Inns of the South of England contains 8 chapters - South Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, North Hampshire, Berkshire, South Wiltshire, North Wiltshire, South Oxfordshire, North Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. There is an informative introductory narrative in each chapter containing historical facts, important landmarks and places to visit. A full page is devoted to each pub or inn and contains an attractive line-drawing, full name, address and telephone number, directions on how to get there, descriptive narrative and a handy summary of opening hours, food served, credit cards accepted, accommodation provided, other facilities offered, entertainment as well as local places of interest and local activities available. The attractive cover design is based on photographs of the Cat & Fiddle Inn, Hinton Admiral, Hampshire, the Fox & Hounds, Devizes, Wiltshire and the Crown, Cookham, Berkshire.
