In sixty-four superb photographs (of which twenty-eight are in colour) and somé two hundred pages of text packed with descriptive detail Douglas Bolton has captured the spirit of the country and has provided an indispensable guide book. Scenes of outstanding natural beauty, buildings of great architectural merit, places rich in his toricai interest crowd the pages. Every county in England, Scotland and Wales is dealt with in a series of 48 tours and excursions. Special emphasis has been laid upon routes for motorists and cyclists and notes are given where necessary on road conditions and accommodation. The illustrations deserve special mention- they represent what must be one of the finest collections of photographs of the British scene. They rangé in subject from Tower Bridge to FingaPs Cave, from Spring in Clovelly, Devonshire, to Autumn in remote Strath Bran, Perthshire, and throughout Douglas Bolton has caught the unique atmosphere of a wide selection of highly individualistic scenes. For variety within a small area Britain must be practically unrivalled and it is precisely that variety which is so well displayed within this book. The illustration on the front of this dust jacket is of Windermere at Laké Side, Lancashire. Vissza
