Who could be better placed than the National Trust to produce a book about the countryside? The charity owns and protects some of our most spectacular landscapes, including moors and mountains, woodland and wetlands, and mile upon mile - 714.5 miles to be precise - of stunning coastline. Drawing on the expertise of Trust wardens, conservationists and farmers, this comprehensive and exquisitely illustrated book is the essential guide to our national heritage. You'll find information about Britain's wildlife, geology, archaeology, climate, history and current environment and economic issues - as well as lots of inspiring walks. This is a book to help you 'read' the landscape and, ultimately, to treasure it even more. ISBN 9781905400690. 384 pages. 259mm h x 245mm w. Currently exclusive to National Trust shops.
