A hymn to the British landscape. From the dramatic hills of the
Lake District to the beaches and covers of Cornwall, this richly
illustrated book brings together new perspectives on the places
that have inspired artists, writers and film-makers and shaped the
nation's identity. The third in the bestselling series of Houses of
the National Trust and Gardens of the National Trust, this is a
richly illustrated book providing new perspectives on the British
landscape. From the dramatic hills of the Lake District to the
mysterious fens of eastern England and the beaches and coves of
Cornwall, landscapes provide the settings for our daily lives, as
well as an important part of our identity. The inspiration for
artists, writers and film-makers, our landscapes are cultural,
man-made creations far more than we may be aware. But how much do
we know about how these landscapes came into being? How were
different sorts of landscapes valued in the past? And how can
landscapes today and in the future best adapt to the ever-changing
world in which we live? Chapters include The Art of Landscape,
Ancient Places, Homes and Gardens, Lost in the Woods, Open Country
and Shifting Shores. Landscapes of the National Trust will appeal
to all those who care about the past, present and future of the
British landscape and is superbly illustrated throughout with
stunning photographs.
