Would you cheer if they sent you to Coventry? Could you stick up for Stoke or big-up Bracknell? Can you handle the thrill of Rhyl, the heaven of Hull or the mirth of Tydfil?
Tim Moore drives his Austin Maestro round all the places on our beloved island that nobody wants to go to – our most miserable towns, shonkiest hotels, scariest pubs, and silliest sea zoos. It's a journey through the unloved corners of Britain that guidebooks�忘 to mention and tourists wisely avoid.
But as the soggy, decrepit quest unfolds, Moore finds himself oddly smitten with these maligned destinations. The result is a rousing, nostalgic celebration of mad, bad Britain – a love letter to the places we love to mock but can't help but cherish.
