The varied character of Britain's countryside and towns provides
communities with a strong sense of local identity. One of the most
significant features of the southern British landscape 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 book 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.
