Ten chapters discover the dark secrets of Cornwall, Devon, Skomer, Snowdonia, Cumbria, Scotland, London and much more in an illuminating and inspiring tour of Britain by night. The book explores Britain's wildlife and natural history and also includes tips on walking safely in darkness and finding your way by the moon and stars.
