Published in association with the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and introduced by its president, Sir Max Hastings, this beautifully designed coffee-table tome is a must for anyone who cherishes the British countryside. It offers a combination of stunning landscape photography and quintessentially English quotes, poetry, reminiscences, and anecdotes. With a chapter for each of England’s counties, it captures the superb peaks and tumbling waterfalls in the Lake District, the windswept moorland of the Yorkshire Dales, the dramatic cliffs at Land’s End, sunrise on the Norfolk Broads, the historic houses of Chatsworth and Burghley in the East Midlands, and many more locales.

Save the Earth,
By Beck-dizzle (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Portrait of England (Hardcover)
I bought this thinking it would be incredible pictures and history. There are some incredible pictures, but not of famous things like you'd expect..it's more like random lakes and such. It's written from a "save the earth" perspective with people telling why they love the land. Not quite what I wanted for a coffee table book , but it's decent.

This review is from: A Portrait of England (Hardcover)
If you want a good solid book of some just wonderful pictures of England with some well written text then you could do a whole lot worse than this tome. I found it well worth the coin! A+
