Travel BooksReading is one of the great joys of being on holiday, but since most of my articles are about travelling around Europe, I’d like to use this article to recommend some European travel books specifically.
European travel mapsThrough my various travels I have built up a good collection of travel maps for European cities, and routes through Europe.
Must See EuropeThere are lots of “must see” lists for Europe, but they all seem to follow one or another standard formula: either selling holiday links, or a blogger picking out their favourites in their own country. Many of the longer lists target US readers and include lots of locations in the UK, which those of us in the UK can visit at a weekend without the time or expense of a more significant break. Below I will try to bring together a healthy list of the places I’ve loved and still want to see in Europe, excluding the British Isles.

Another Réal Ale Trail — Wherry Lines Ale TrackThere are quite a few Rail Ale Trails now available in the UK, including the [intlink id=“173” type=“post”]South Pennines[/intlink] one I recently wrote about. I recently had to organise a stag do for a mate, and after looking into several options I concluded the best option would be an Ale Trail in another part of the country. The route I worked out has since become another established Ale Trail called the Wherry Lines Ale Track

South Pennines Réal Ale TrailRecently a group of friends and I went on the South Pennines Real Ale Trail. This is the same Ale Trail that featured on Oz and James Drink to Britain. Before going into detail, a quick summary — we all had an excellent day, and enjoyed a good few ales.
