The Rough Guide to ...

DURING the airing of the Rough Guide Series I, those lovely people at Five had a very comprehensive website to accompany the series which was packed with information about Julia’s trips and links to 10 minute video clips. Sadly, this content is no longer available although an overview of the last series can be found below.
