Book:The County Tops of the British Isles The County Tops of the British Isles

Hi all,

Long shot here but I am on the lookout for a book called:

The County Tops of the British Isles

by Paddy Dillon. Tried all the usual on-line places but it's out of print (was published in '85). If anyone knows where I can possibly get hold of a copy, it'd be greatly appreciated - it is inclusive of the county tops of Ireland.

Cheers,
Paul

Sits and waits for the distant sound of the "We are not part of the British Isles" brigade

Never heard of it I'm afraid, but I'm intrigued as to what the highest point would be in somewhere like Norfolk or Cambridgeshire!

Funny you should ask.. was just reading this when you posted..

the lowest of all county tops is "the Roman camp" in Norfolk

the summit reaching a mere 102 metres,

that's just 335 feet

Stanfords don't have it in stock, but you could contact them and see if they would know where it could be found.
