Britain's Sacred Places: a guide to ancient and modern sites that stir the soul - travel guide covering places of religious and secular pilgrimage in England, Wales and Scotland, from Westminster Abbey to Iona, Twickenham stadium to Orkney, including Buddhist temples, Stonehenge and Princess Diana's statue.

Britain is packed with places to visit that can be called 'sacred'. Many are tourist sites, such as Iona, Lindisfarne and Stonehenge. Many more are out-of-the-way pilgrimage destinations, druidic circles, holy wells or obscure islands that few people would find without this book. Some are only recognised as 'sacred' by people with a special interest: Karl Marx's tomb in Highgate cemetery or the island on Althorp where Princess Diana is buried. This book journeys from pilgrimage sites with tombs of martyrs and scenes of medieval miracles to the remote islands of Iona, Bardsey and Lindisfarne, as well as to modern Buddhist, Hindu and Islamic shrines. It visits pre-historic stone circles and ancient chalk hill carvings such as the phallic Cerne Abbas giant. As well as sites of myth, legend, and apparition it covers shrines to philosophers and locations revered for their connections with art, music, literature, sport and crime.

Die meisten Reisenden besuchen Portugal wegen seiner Sandstrände, Felsküsten und Sportmöglichkeiten. Doch abseits der Badeparadiese gibt es wenig bekannte, wilde Schönheiten, historische Städte und idyllische Dörfer. Hier finden Sie umfassende Informationen für jedes Vorhaben: von einem familiengeführten Hotel mit Privatbibliothek in Lissabon über traditionelle Restaurants in Guarda bis zu Festivals für klassische Musik und Tanz in Sintra. Lissabon wird mit einem detaillierten Stadtplan behandelt, während Madeira und die Azoren auf 40 Seiten vorgestellt werden. Wichtige Sehenswürdigkeiten wie der Palácio da Pena in Sintra, Santa Maria de Vitória in Batalha und die Universität in Coimbra werden mit Aufrisszeichnungen erläutert. Outdooraktivitäten wie Segeln, Kanufahren, Paragliding, Höhlentouren, Klettern und Walbeobachtung werden ebenfalls empfohlen.
