People in London tell the foreigner who seeks some understanding of Britain, "Whatever you do, don't stay in London. Get out of London and go..." The visitor is advised to go to the villages in Somerset and Norfolk, to Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent in the Midlands, to ancient York and Durham in the north of England, to the coal towns of Wales or to the great cities of wild highlands of Scotland. All of these places and more reveal much of Britain.
