'A fascinating take on travel in the British Isles from a guide book publisher sacred to all travellers.' Sandi Toksvig, author and TV and radio presenter So often when we visit the sacred sites of Britain we admire the architecture of a building, or the natural beauty of a site, but don't get beyond that. But there are occasions when we are moved by the sense of the transcendental that sacred places can inspire. That is far more likely to happen if we take this guide with us on our travels round Britain and read the stories that Martin tells so well, the stories which enable readers to understand how and why there are so many British sacred places. Sir Mark Tully, BBC Radio 4 presenter and former BBC foreign correspondent 'Martin Symington leads us - ever so quietly - to a selection of Britain's sacred places ... This is a wonderful, timely guide'.
