In the field guide, the superb illustrations and informative text, taken from the Reader’s Digest Nature Lover's Library, enable you to identify the butterflies you are most likely to find in Britain and Ireland. Sites guides indicate where the butterflies have been seen and recorded by experts and where you may therefore have the best chance of finding them

Most of the sites in the gazetteer belong to The National Trust, The National Trust for Scotland or An Taisce (The National Trust for Ireland). The descriptions tell potential visitors not only when is the best time to catch a glimpse of butterflies but also of the magnificent scenery-, splendid walks, historic houses or fine gardens which may be enjoyed at the properties.
