Tiny Britain

Covering an eclectic range of categories – the smallest island (Teän in the Scillies, at just 40 acres), the shortest long-distance footpath (Maelor Way in Northeast Wales, a mere 24 miles) – this illustrated compendium celebrates the history and allure of places that have been outshone by larger rivals. To encourage readers to appreciate each location for themselves, each entry concludes with practical advice on admission and travel. Off-mint

Product information
Full publisher description
Small in stature but very big on charm, Britain's tiniest treasures have always been worth celebrating, but it takes a trained eye to track them down throughout the length and breadth of the country.

Step forward Dixe Wills, champion of all things tiny. Taking us on a miniature odyssey traversing the smallest counties in the land, jumping aboard the tiniest ferry and crossing the shortest river, he seeks out these Lilliputian treasures, examines their best features under the magnifying glass and bigs them up for our benefit.

Undaunted in his search for the diminutive and bold in his quest for the bijou, he presents his findings here - the tiniest bits of Britain writ large, for all to see.
