Bollocks to Alton Towers: Uncommonly British Days Out
A Travel, Humor, Nonfiction book. other people living in England
The British Lawnmower Museum, Keith Harding's World of Mechanical Music, and Mad Jack's Sugar Loaf. In a world of theme parks, interactive exhibits, overpriced merchandise, and queues, don't worry, these are names to stir the soul. Reassuring evidence that there's still somewhere to turn in search of the small, fascinating, unique, and, dammit, British. In a stumbling journey across the country in search of the best we have to offer, our intrepid heroes discovered dinosaurs in South London, a cold war castle in Essex, grown men pretending to be warships in Scarborough, unexplained tunnels under Liverpool, and a terraced house in Bedford being kept warm for Jesus's return. And along the way they met the people behind them all: enthusiasts, eccentrics, and, you know, those who just sort of fell into looking after a vast collection of gnomes. . . Makes you proud!

More About Bollocks to Alton Towers: Uncommonly British Days Out
I want to go to all these places, except maybe to the lawnmower museum (I might have to take my dad there). Some of them I have been to but not for long enough (Avebury); some I have been in the vicinity of without knowing about them (Liverpool tunnels, Edinburgh's South Bridge - though I did tour some stellar tunnels); some I knew... I did like this book, it was very British. And very funny at times to. I enjoyed readed about some of the places to vist. Really would love to see Kelvedon's Nuclear Bunker, Mother Shipton's cave and Crystal Palace Dinosaurs(which I may well pop in to see next time I go to London). Some of the places I could have done without knowing... other people living in England
