The Country Living Rural guide to The South East is full of information on the traditional English countryside in Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent. The guide takes the reader on a relaxed tour of the South East's pleasant villages and market towns, pointing out the attractive features of its varied countryside and coastline as well as describing the region's history, heritage, culture and places of interest. The guide is packed with information on where to go, what to do and see, where to stay and eat and where to buy. The South East is one of the most beautiful Regions in England with a varied landscape of river, woodlands and scenic coastlines. Its southern regions are East and West Sussex while to the north is Surrey. Further east is the beautiful county of Kent, which is said to be the Garden of England, and by the sheer attractiveness of the countryside it is very easy to understand why.;Kent is sculptured by rolling woodland, remote marshlands, orchards, hop fields and an extensive coastline full of character, and is strewn with picturesque little villages and market towns. To the west is the county of Sussex, a region blessed with a rich heritage and endowed with attractive hills and beautiful woodlands as well as a charming and attractive coastline. The coastline is scattered with popular tourist resorts that still hold the charm they had way back when they used to be but small fishing villages. Surrey is a county rich in history and being so close to London has always tried to cower away from being eaten by the ever-expanding Capital City. Located in the main commuter belt between London and the South the county has absorbed some of the City's unique cosmopolitan culture and interesting history. Great Houses, as well as royal and Episcopal palaces were built in northeast Surrey from medieval times, and many villages have evidence of Saxon, Celtic, Roman and even late Stone Ages settlements.;The guide will definitely appeal to people with a real interest in the beauty, tranquillity and traditional values of the countryside, who are looking for high standards in places to stay, eat and drink and quality craftsmanship in any products purchased. Equally for those readers who are seeking a more active life in the countryside the book provides information on walks and tours as well as details of National Trust and English Heritage properties.
