Bradt Travel Guides bestaat sinds 1974 en is uitgever van reisgidsen van bestemmingen die andere uitgevers van reisgidsen veelal niet beschrijven. Bradt heeft voor veel bestemmingen geen directe concurrent in de Engelse taal. Als je droomt van je volgende reis en je afvraagt waar je heen moet, kijk dan eens naar Bradt Travel Guides, de beste en meest informatieve gidsen op de markt.
Bradt's new guide to Orkney is written by experienced writer and journalist Mark Rowe, author of Bradt's hugely popular guide to the Outer Hebrides and something of a specialist in more remote parts of Scotland. Orkney comprises 70 islands, 19 inhabited, and the focus of this guide is the 13 major inhabited islands.
Masses of background information is included, from geography and geology to architecture and archaeology, with significant coverage of wildlife, too, as well as all the practical details you could need: when to visit, suggested itineraries, public holidays and festivals, local culture, plus accommodation and where to eat and drink. Wildlife lovers, walkers, bird-watchers, beach lovers, archaeology enthusiasts, genealogists, foodies, couples seeking escape and cyclists are all catered for, and this is an ideal guide for those who travel simply with curious minds to discover far-flung places of great cultural, historical and wildlife interest.
