From Neo-Classical cities and historic towns to the beautiful, untouched countryside and tranquil villages, both Scotland and Wales offer something for everyone. Both lands can easily be added to a trip to England, or enjoyed as a destination in themselves.
Most of the 40 daytrips described in this brand-new guide can be taken from the base cities of Edinburgh/Glasgow, Shrewsbury, or Cardiff– with a few more distant adventures in the Highlands.
Apart from the usual cathedrals, museums, castles, and stately homes, there are included such attractions as country walks, literary trails, Roman ruins, craft centers, distilleries, glass factories, walled cities with medieval streets, great seaports, quaint hamlets, railfan trips, wildlife expeditions, copper mines, a strange Italian village, the mecca of golf courses, and even the Hogwarts Express.

DAYTRIPS SCOTLAND & WALES is the perfect companion book to DAYTRIPS LONDON, now in its 7th edition, which covers most of England – as far north as York and as far west as Exeter – on a daytrip basis using London as a base.

Judith Frances Duddle has always had a keen interest in travelling and thoroughly enjoys the carefree style of daytripping. Even when she worked for the British Government for 13 years, she enjoyed getting away on weekends and taking trips to Scotland and Wales. Living in the North West of England, it only takes two hours travelling time to reach Wales, where her family now live.
During 1992, Judith was involved in a car accident that left her disabled. Far from extinguishing her thirst for living life to the full, the experience has actually enhanced it. Judith started writing about her true-life experiences, and the articles about her have been published in British magazines and local papers. She has also appeared on National Television and been interviewed on Regional Radio Stations.
