In hidden europe 8 we'll tread a few Welsh byways, let words evoke a piece of Scotland's industrial past, and we shall visit Zeitz in eastern Germany - a place with almost too much history. We'll also make a foray along a well trodden trail as we shall report from Tuscany - though, as you might expect from hidden europe, our Tuscany will be more than just manicured cypress trees and chic cities. All that and more of Europe's unsung spots in the next issue of hidden europe, which will be published on 3 May.
