The varied character of Britain's countryside provides communities
with a strong sense of local identity. One of the most significant
features of the landscape in Southern Britain is the way that its
character differs from region to region, with compact villages in
the Midlands contrasting with the sprawling hamlets of East Anglia
and isolated farmsteads of Devon. Even more remarkable is the very
'English' feel of the landscape in southern Pembrokeshire, in the
far south west of Wales. Hoskins described the English landscape as
'the richest historical record we possess', and in this volume
Stephen Rippon explores the origins of regional variations in
landscape character, arguing that while some landscapes date back
to the centuries either side of the Norman Conquest, other areas
across southern Britain underwent a profound change around the 8th
century AD.
