From the Publisher:

From the open plains of East Anglia, the wild fells of the Pennines, and the rocky coastline of the West Country to the cityscapes of London, Birmingham, and Manchester, England is truly a land of geographical extremes. No corner is left untouched by human hand, evidence of which is visible everywhere, from fields strewn with Iron Age settlements to the sprawling suburbs of the 20th century. Whether you know the country or not, close inspection of these pages will reward you with amazing insights into the fabric of the English landscape. The photography and cartography, which are both map–accurate, share the same standard grid system, meaning you can cross–reference quickly between the two elements. A fascinating, remarkably detailed reference for Anglophiles and map lovers.
