Book Description

Series: Most Beautiful Villages | Publication Date: January 2002

Villages are the very embodiment of Englishness. Honey coloured cottages from peaceful Cornwall communities; splendid thatched roofs sweeping over eaves and windows in the villages of Hampshire; half-timbering, flint and limestone giving Suffolk hamlets their characteristic appearance; and limestone, sandstone and millstone grit giving a darker look to those of Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland. This volume records the richness and diversity of the English village in photographs and commentary. Grouped by area and sub-divided by county, this is a celebration of the most beautiful villages of England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great photos, a nice addition to this line of books., August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Most Beautiful Villages of England (Hardcover)

This book keeps in line with the other "Most Beautiful Villages of" series quite well. Above all this is a photographic book, that lets the reader make the judgements. The photos of these breathtaking places are all we need for the photographer's selection criteria.

"shell2128" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Most Beautiful Villages of England (Hardcover)

I bought this book because I am obsessed with England and wanted a coffee table book that portrayed that. The photographs in this book are gorgeous, exemplifying the beauty of England and the villages within. Of course, this book makes me want to travel to the UK and explore all of these historic villages!
