WELCOME
As we emerge from the dark, damp days of winter, many of you will probably be dreaming of, or even planning, an adventure abroad to sunnier climes. To help your dreams become a reality, we’ve asked Lonely Planet’s editorial director Tom Hall to share eight of his favourite historical destinations from across the globe – from the exquisitely carved temples of India to the D-Day beaches of Normandy.
And if you’re looking for travel inspiration closer to home, we’ve also included an article on some of Britain’s many historical highlights.
I hope you’ll find this supplement an interesting read and that you enjoy exploring a wealth of historical sites this year – wherever you may roam.
