What People Are Saying
“The Goldeneye Guide to Cornwall unlocks the very best spaces and places to explore and discover. From smugglers’ creeks and sweeping coastal paths to its magnificent maritime heritage and glorious industrial past, Goldeneye’s comprehensive guide to Cornwall simply brims with compelling detail. It is the go-to compendium for the county, whatever your budget and taste. ”
— Cornwall Life Magazine
“Whether you are visiting the area for its beaches or its country houses, this is both an attractive guidebook and a refreshingly different read. Both the text and photography are noteworthy, but what marks this touring guide out in particular is the excellent use it makes of local publisher Goldeneye’s specialist mapping skills, with liberal use of 1:100,000 touring maps as well as useful town plans.”
— Devon Life Magazine
“The Cotswolds Guidebook is wide-ranging, visually literate, quirky, authoritative, and (as Simon Jenkins said about the Cornwall Guidebook) ‘utterly lovely’.”
— Richard Martin, Owner of the Cotswolds Woollen Weavers.
“Goldeneye Map-Guides are just the ticket…on the reverse an invaluable dip-in guide to all the ‘must not miss’ features of the locale.”

“Goldeneye’s double-sided Map-Guides have a traditional map on one side with tourist attractions, cycle-ways, and main footpaths highlighted. The reverse contains information usually found in a guide book, with details on attractions and map references.”
