About this Item

Given the arrival of successive waves of settlers and invaders stretching back over countless millennia, it is not surprising that England has such a rich and eclectic heritage, tradition and culture. Each of the numerous regions within the island is unique and distinguishable: with a spectacular array of scenery from the broads of East Anglia to the fells of the Lake District, from the granite tors in Cornwall to the rolling downs of the south-east. Medieval castles, Roman cities, ruined abbeys and the enormous richness and variety of landscape to be found in England are portrayed as Talbot and Whiteman offer a beautiful and informative insight into the English countryside.

About this title

Synopsis

England's foremost landscape photographer-authors take you through a breathtaking visual tour of every region that helps you see as never before the amazing variety of the country's natural beauty. Leave behind the crowded cities and busy highways, and go beyond the tour-guide villages and plowed-under farmlands, to see England as a series of beautifully unfolding landscapes, the way its earliest arrivals must have seen it, from the broads of East Anglia to the fells of the Lake District, and from the granite tors in Cornwall to the rolling downs of the Southeast. In 130 color photographs, many oversized and double-spread, gorgeous displays of natural heritage, tradition, and culture highlight what gives each region a distinct and unique sense of place.
