A book like this is invaluable ... there’s something here for all tastes and abilities. - Reverend Kate Bottley

Where can you visit the highest waterfall in Britain? Where can you visit the smallest house in the country? Where can you get lost in the biggest maze, or see the clearest night sky, sniff the smelliest plant or catch a movie in the smallest cinema?

From the quirky to the sublime, to the ridiculous, to the fascinating, Record-breaking Britain provides you with the ultimate bucket list of delightful sights and attractions at each end of every extreme. The smallest, the tallest, the longest, the oldest, the biggest, the northernmost, the southernmost, the darkest, the furthest – every adjective you can think of and more – this book will set you up with fascinating places to visit for years to come.

The book features 101 attractions and activities throughout the whole of Britain, and shows you how you can visit, what there is to see and why it will knock your socks off. With delightful photography, a beautiful hand-drawn map and insightful and absorbing writing from the king of quirky travel guides, Peter Naldrett, Record-breaking Britain is sure to delight families, adventurers, thrill-seekers, wanderers and history buffs alike.

This book is your key to being able to tell your kids or your friends that you've been up the tallest building or on the biggest rollercoaster - ideal for winning bragging rights in the playground or genuinely interesting stories of the weekend around the office watercooler.
