LONELY Planet guidebooks are famed for not pulling their punches. Its latest guide to Britain lives up to that reputation, with scathing reviews of some of the country's attractions.
So it is all the more pleasing that the guide finds so much to commend in North Yorkshire. It criticises Shambles in York for being a victim of its own popularity - no sign of the lonely planet here.
But the authors give glowing endorsements to the Minster, Castle Howard, Scarborough and the beautiful countryside. Praise from these notorious curmudgeons is praise indeed.
