It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides.

From his lair in Bristol, Robert Andrews makes frequent forays westward to sniff the air, wallow in the waves and scoff pasties. He has also written for and researched the Rough Guides to England, Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Bath, Bristol and Somerset.

Writer and editor Austin Clark grew up in the north of England but is now a convert to the charms of the Southwest, frequently lured down the A303 by the promise of the coast path and fine local food.
