Summary: What you see is what you get.
Review: Soem people buy Lonely Planet guides and use them like bibles. Some people buy Lonely Planet guides so that they can avoid anything that is recommended and therefore avoid the people who use them like bibles. Then there is the middle road, who buy them to fill in the gaps. My travels in Britain have not relyed on my copy of Lonely Planet. I try not to rely on any guide. But sometimes you need something other than the local tourist brochures, websites and recomendations from friends. You can do a lot worse than this guide for filling that gap.

Summary: Brillian--don't leave home without it and your brolly
Review: This guidebook was my constant companion for my 3- 1/2 week trip through England, Scotland and Wales. I'd never travelled abroad before, but felt totally prepared, and had a wonderful trip. Excellent info on transport, B&Bs, sights, the works. I was always the go-to person for itinerary planing within the group of friends I was travelling w/, b/c of my LP guide. In a class by itself. Give me my passport,my ATM/VISA card, and an LP guide and I'll go anywhere!

Summary: A Great Asset to any trip to Great Britain
Review: This summer I took an awesome two week tour of Great Britain with Contiki Tours. The tour was great because of how it mixed a rigid tour with free time. My free time was excellent thanks to the information in this guide. I had used Lonely Planet before when I visited China. They did a great job on that book and they did a great job on this one. The information, history, culture and advice are priceless. This is a great guidebook to have. Lonely Planet might not have zillions of colour pictures, but it has priceless information and commentary.

Summary: great guide for a free spirit
Review: This was the first LP guide I purchased. I highly recommend this guide book and used it extensively, while travelling in England and Scotland. When I first got off the plane and ended up at the airport, I made the mistake of making a hotel reservation through the Thomas Cook booth at the train station. That was a mistake. The next day, I pulled out my LP guide, and found a hotel down the street that was half the price, and it was cleaner, and nicer to boot. From that moment onwards, I was hooked on LP guides. Since I was travelling solo, and had a rail pass, I pretty much decided where I wanted to go when I woke up each morning. I would find a hotel when it started to get dark. When that would happen, I would pull out this guide, and find a place to stay. Recommended.

Summary: Great book for planning!
Review: We haven't yet embarked on our trip but this book was fabulous for planning which cities and villages we wanted to visit. The descriptions of even the little towns are exquisite. The maps are a bit lacking, but the book has already served it's purpose!
