The Coast of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland [Hardcover]

Joe Cornish (Photographer), David Noton (Photographer), Paul Wakefield (Photographer), Libby Purves (Introduction)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1998

When Britain’s National Trust was founded over 100 years ago, the first property to be donated was a section of coastline overlooking Cardigan Bay in Wales. One of the Trust’s founders famously wondered whether it would be their last. Certainly, it would have been beyond her wildest dreams to know that today the National Trust protects over 700 miles of the nation’s coastline. This collection of photographs celebrates the diversity of the British coastline and encourages its preservation for future generations.

The photographs are so gorgious and real that they make you feel like you are right there. From the cliffs to the sandy beaches and from the light houses to the huge watery rocks make this book extremely unforgettable.
