This new edition of the Hidden Places of Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight has been completely redesigned to include a new cover and new page layouts. This title, which has always been popular with Hidden Places readers, is printed in full colour and includes detailed directional maps, eye-catching photographs and is packed with interesting information and places to eat, drink and stay.Dorset is a county that encompasses rolling chalk downs, dark heathland (so beloved of Thomas Hardy) , the long ridge of the Purbeck Hills and an incomparable coastline with its wealth of magnificent rock formations sculptured by the sea. Hampshire and the Isle of Wight offer the visitor a wonderful combination of seafaring tradition in the many coastal towns and villages as well as wonderful countryside epitomized by the New Forest and the rolling hills of northeast Hampshire. Both counties are a haven for "hidden places" and the book provides the reader with plenty of interesting historical facts. The redesigned cover incorporates an eye-catching photograph of the village Milton Abbas in Dorset.
