Bollocks to Alton Towers: The Sugar Loaf

"On a lighter note the Sugar Loaf was mentioned on national radio recently as it has been included in "B****cks To Alton Towers"! The book lists unusual and eccentric tourist attractions and the Sugar Loaf gets a mention along with the story of its creation. I haven't seen the book although the radio article was very accurate in what it said about the Sugar Loaf so I guess the authors have done their homework."
Publisher Penguin is marketing this guide book, written by Jason Hazeley, Robin Halstead, Joel Morris & Alex Morris, for those craving an alternative to the typical tourist trap holiday.
"Wouldn't it be better to go somewhere that everyone else hasn't - somewhere with something more interesting to say than 'have a nice day' or 'keep your hands inside the car while the ride is in motion'?
This is your chance. Turn away from the theme park queue and take a wayward tour of the backwaters and byways of the British tourist trail, celebrating the small, fascinating and unique."
