We've all driven past brown signs inviting us to visit unlikely sounding local attractions like Barometer World or a Secret Nuclear Bunker - they're dotted the length and breadth of Britain. But how many of us have taken the time to visit?

Well, our intrepid authors set out to discover what we'd been missing. They dropped by and sampled the small, peculiar and unique delights of places that defy rationality, convention and corporate sponsorship - and in a small way define what it is to be British. The include such delights as:

• Grown men pretending to be warships at Peasholm Park
• The World's largest pencil at Cumberland Pencil Museum
• Children playing skittles with JCBs at Diggerland
• Gnome murder in Essex's Gnome Magic

A hilarious, celebratory tour of the curious, unusual and the sometimes sublimely ridiculous, Bollocks to Alton Towers will take you to places you've never (but should have) been.
