Overview
The historic county of Berkshire lies at the heart of Southern England, stretching
for some 70 miles from the Marlborough Downs to the suburbs of West London.
Its landscape is one of contrasts ¿ in the east, a lowland bordered by the River
Thames, dominated by the great forests of Windsor and Swinley, and rarely
beyond the reach of modernity. To the west it meets the chalk and becomes more
hilly and remote, finally reaching the downs at Streatley, Lambourn and Inkpen,
where the rolling countryside is watched over by red kites and buzzards.
This book celebrates the character and contrast of Berkshire's scenery, with a
collection of fine art photographs taken in all seasons. Each image is accompanied
by a narrative which recounts the author¿s experience of the place, together
with some background information about the subject. The emphasis is on
countryside and parkland, but buildings and landmarks which blend well with
the landscape are also included.
The author's passion for the outdoors reveals a unique mix of subjects, from the
well-known and familiar to the unusual and obscure. The result is a book which
makes an ideal companion for enjoying the scenery of England's Royal County.
