100 Great Wildlife Experiences : what to see and where
Fair, James D.2019
eBook
There are many guides to the world's great wildlife experiences, but the UK is neglected and this book sets out to remedy this. 100 Great Wildlife Experiences really takes in all the amazing things to see and do in the UK, in all seasons - because winter, of course, can be just as good as summer or spring. The 100 experiences to be had here in the UK are placed in categories such as "Best for families," "Best for Couples," "Best on a budget" and so on. Covering every county in the country, this book is useful for people who want to explore their local area and surrounding counties, and for those in need of an insightful guide to take on their travels.
