The fictional superspy James Bond is a cultural phenomenon, becoming since his first appearance in the novel Casino Royale in 1953 a character as recognizable around the world as Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood. While we may associate James Bond with exotic locales, underwater adventures, and even outer space, there are many sites in Britain connected with the character. Locations used in the Bond films, places mentioned in the novels, buildings inhabited or visited by Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming: James Bond has left his mark across the country. This book takes you on a tour of Britain, from the Highlands of Scotland to the White Cliffs of Dover, from Wales to East Anglia, to discover iconic film locations, landmarks described in the novels, and places associated with Ian Fleming. This is the first guide that takes readers around Britain not only to explore the film settings but also the literary locations and places that had a profound impact on Ian Fleming’s writing. The generously illustrated book can be used as guide on Bond tours across the country, as well as a treasure trove of fascinating Bond facts.
