Muslim Britain & Ireland: a travel guide to sites of Islamic heritage & culture

'Muslim Britain and Ireland' is a unique, groundbreaking travel guidebook about the largely ignored historic and contemporary Muslim heritage and culture of the British Isles. It guides readers and travellers to places and spaces that tell the story of Islam in the region - from the 8th century, when Anglo-Saxon King Offa minted an Islamic coin, through to the building of the Central Cambridge Mosque, Europe's most environmentally friendly Islamic place of worship. Region-by-region coverage introduces readers to points of interest typically overlooked by traditional travel guides, explaining their significance to the story of the British Isles - and articulating the impact of the region's second-largest religious group on its language, food, art, culture and architecture.
