From phantom counties to hidden deserts, Atlas of Geographical Curiosities : Britain uncovers the most surprising and unexpected features of the British landscape. Great Britain and its dependencies rank among the quirkiest regions in the world, as this unique atlas of geographical curiosities reveals. From a county that does not officially exist to Britain's own desert, rainforests and "Great Barrier Reef', from royal duchies that exist only on paper to the smallest city and town in the country, the book explores a wealth of surprising places.
It also highlights the world's narrowest street in Devon, an island still following the Gregorian calendar, a hotel located at the exact geographical centre of Britain, the longest place name in the world in Wales, remnants of the England-Scotland border, and even a London street that officially belongs to another county. Richly illustrated and designed as a beautiful object, this atlas offers a visual and engaging journey through a Britain that is as strange as it is fascinating, where geography often defies expectations.
