Discover the England most travellers never find.
Beyond London's famous landmarks lies a quieter, stranger, more captivating England — one of Viking battlefields and smugglers' tunnels, of witches and wool merchants, of castles that shaped the Magna Carta and churchyards that connect directly to the founding of America.
30 Exceptional Places to Visit in England…Off the Beaten Track is a personal guide to thirty remarkable villages and towns in the historic Home Counties of Essex, Kent, and East Sussex. Written by English-born author Elizabeth Victoria Wallace, this is not a list of tourist attractions — it is an invitation into the real history, legend, and character of places most guidebooks ignore.
Walk the hill where Lawrence Washington, great-great-grandfather of America's first President, was driven from his pulpit. Explore the ancient wooden church that sheltered the body of a martyred Saxon king. Stand on the shore at Pevensey where William the Conqueror's invasion changed England forever. Discover the village that inspired John Harvard to found a university, and the quiet Essex town where Gustav Holst composed The Planets.
Each chapter pairs rich storytelling with practical travel information — what to see, where to eat, where to stay — making this both a compelling read and an indispensable companion for the discerning traveller.
Perfect for: Anglophiles, history lovers, travellers planning a UK trip, and anyone who wants to experience England beyond the obvious.
