From Scarborough to Newcastle, North East Nooks and Crannies picks out the unexpected treasures tucked away or often overlooked in the historic towns and villages of the region. It provides locations and details of forgotten or half seen attractions in an easy to use guide and is ideal to refer to when out and about. Whilst intentionally avoiding the usual tourist haunts, it concentrates instead on the more obscure items, all of which are free to see.
All of the places featured in the book can be accessed without crossing muddy fields and aim to provide an enjoyable form of exercise, with hopefully, a little mental stimulation. No expensive clothing is required, though suitable footwear is advisable and a copy of the relevant street map may be useful.
