Product Description
Product Description
The Shropshire Hills were designated an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1958, and
remain to this day one of the most beautiful,
tranquil and unspoilt parts of the country.
They have been a popular holiday destination
sinceVictorian times and now attract over
half a million visitors a year.Yet get away from
the popular valleys and hiking trails and you
may not see another person all day.
The Hills are well known for the astonishing
variety of their scenery, plants and wildlife,
which is due to the varied nature of their
underlying rocks. Nowhere else in Britain can
one find rocks from ten out of the twelve
recognised periods of geological history
within such a small area.
This beautifully produced book, illustrated
with over 150 of Robin Jukes-Hughes'
stunning landscape and natural history
photographs, captures the Shropshire Hills
in all their glory and will be a fine memento
for visitor and local alike

Bought this book to send to a friend in Kuwait and the photography is stunning. Wish we could have kept it longer to read it ourselves. Useful information on the history of the Shropshire Hills and views of them in different seasons. As we live in sight of the Hills we know them well and this book has captured their spirit precisely.
Format:Hardcover
This was a present for German friends, some with very limited English, so it was perfect - lots of photographs and not too much written accompaniament
