Best Of The Guide

  • Brighton

    Sussex

    This once famous resort of royalty and fashion may now, through the levelling of the railroad, be fairly entitled to the appellation of the Marine Metropolis.

  • Crystal Palace

    Surrey

    The site of the Crystal Palace on the summit of Penge Park is one of the most beautiful in the world.

  • Bristol

    Gloucestershire

    Cathedral city, seaport, and parliamentary borough in Gloucestershire 118 miles from London.

  • Menai Bridge

    Carnarvonshire

    Two miles from Bangor, across the narrow channel which cuts off Anglesea, is best seen from the water below, above which it rises 100 feet, at high tide.

  • Conway

    Carnarvonshire

    The ancient town of Conway is within the wall that were erected at the same time as the castle. Although not a manufacturing town, it has always been a place of some importance.

  • Killarney

    County Kerry

    The Lakes of Killarney are three in number – the Upper, the Tore (or Middle), and the Lower; these, with their islands and other attractive objects, we shall briefly describe.
