Countryside

by Joe Cornish, Joe Cornish, Paul Wakefield

Over a hundred years ago, the National Trust was founded to preserve places of historic interest or natural beauty in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Today it protects more than 600,000 acres of land. The variety is unparalleled—from the fells and lakes of Cumbria to the wilderness wetlands of Wicken Fen in East Anglia. This collection of photographs reveals not only the natural beauty, but how the human hand has shaped the landscape over the centuries.

Purely photographic.

Some amazing shots, but of predictable places (NT parks/properties).

The photos were very nice, but I am not familiar with all the place names so it would have helped to have the country listed at the top of each page. The book included photos from Northern Ireland, England, and Wales. I was especially interested in County Down and saw only one photo identified as being in County Down.
