Here's the independant Hammerwood Comprehensive Guide to UK tourist information links. It can be a good idea to look at the non-tourist board sites as not everyone belongs to the tourist boards. For the last dozen years the regional tourist boards have not been govenrment funded and many tourist facilities simply find them too expensive to belong to. High advertising expenditure and the most interesting places to visit or stay do not always equate!

If you would like the assistance of a tour guide, tour guides like Unique British Tours or Mr and Mrs Baynes will show you all sorts of interesting places. There are, for instance many interesting churches which have become monuments of history but because they are unable to pay the tourist board, only independant tourguides promote them. Tourguides are thus in popular demand and by February of this year, this tourguide had enough bookings for the season

If you are thinking of going to the beach in the height of summer, here's a popular one in

unpopulated beach at Cooden near Bexhill on Sea in East Sussex. You might mailing to request a brochure - and tell them to get a proper website! The hotel is on the beach and it is pleasantly quiet even in the
height of summer. Don't forget to GIVE YOUR FAX NUMBER OR SNAIL_MAIL

Be careful of the Tourist Boards' Crown rating system!
In order to advertise with the Tourist Boards in the brochures one must be inspected and crown rated. As well as interesting places to visit, many bed-and-breakfast providers and other resorts do not want the expense of the Tourist Board's Crown rating system. The Crown system awards points on technicalities and not on beauty and atmosphere. The Times newspaper reported similarly in an article last year.
Here's a non Tourist Board bed-and-breakfast which had been rated as "2 Crowns" by the Tourist Board:
Here is a Tourist Board "3 Crown" rated bed and breakfast establishment
An undercount of accesses since April 1997.
