The "Four Shires" of the Cotswolds make up an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and this rural region is also packed with manmade cultural treasures: castles and country houses, gardens and estates, Roman ruins and the historic Fosse Way. Author Caroline Mills shares her love of the Cotswolds with an enthusiastic, personal narrative guiding visitors from market towns to elegant abbeys, cheese-rolling competitions to Rollright Stones, Civil War battle sites to Prince Charles's organic farm. This is a colourful guidebook that offers far more than dry practicalities; Mills interviews local craftsmen and characters, and reveals local stories and folklore. She shows the rewards to be had from "slow" breaks that allow you to get under the skin of the region, and highlights restaurants and cafés that use locally produced ingredients. Visitors can enjoy a performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company, find out more about the Cotswold Lion or discover the source of the River Thames.

Sun, sand and sea are the main players representing Fuerteventura. Endless beaches in the south and white dunes in the north shaped by the gentle passat wind attract hordes of sun worshippers and water lovers. But the barrenness of the landscape, to a great extent devoid of people, is fascinating in itself, and its gently rounded summits, volcanic cones and black lava fields have also found their aficionados. MARCO POLO Fuerteventura takes you round the second largest island in the Canaries which, with its small, ancient settlements, isn't going to appeal to those seeking a cultural holiday or who like wandering round towns. This practical guide book, small enough to slip into your pocket, shows the best places to find peace and quiet and relaxing sport on this scenically fascinating island. Or where you can simply listen to the waves breaking on the beach.

The Low Budget tips in each chapter tell you how you can experience a great deal with very little money, enjoy something special and snap up some real bargains.

In, under and on the water - Fuerteventura is an island for water sports fans. Snorkelers, divers and above all surfers will have the time of their lives here. But in the Sport and activities chapter you'll also find numerous locations for those who'd rather be on terra firma, such as bikers and motor cyclists as well as horse riders.
