Coast and Countryside: Joe Cornish, David Noton and Paul Wakefield (National Trust History & Heritage)

Originally published in two volumes, Coast and Countryside, this exquisite collection reveals the true beauty of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland's countryside and coastal heritage

 

Three leading British landscape photographers celebrate the diversity of Britain's natural heritage in this photographic tour ranging from the fells and lakes of Cumbria and the wilderness wetlands of the fens to the granite columns of the Giant's Causeway and the spectacular Cornish coast. This dramatic voyage around fields, forests, rolling hills, hidden harbors, and rocky cliffs captures the unique and remarkable beauty of the coast and countryside. Not just a showcase for Britain's extraordinary beauty, this book also celebrates the photographer's art as well as encouraging the preservation of a unique countryside and coastline for future generations.
