The "Country Series" aims to combine photographs with light, but authoritative commentary on the chosen themes, which cover art, architecture, travel, local history, the countryside, topography, gardens and rural life. In paperback for the first time, this informative book surveys the extraordinary landscapes and architecture of North Yorkshire: the high cliffs and secluded bays, dramatic ravines and tumbling waterfalls, ancient castles and glorious abbeys, enchanting villages and thriving towns. From Malham Cove's remarkable limestone pavement to the medieval city of York, this book captures a unique region and reveals the history and traditions of its people.
