England’s views are remarkable for their beauty and variety. With his usual insight and authority, bestselling author Simon Jenkins picks one hundred of the very best from the white cliffs of Dover to Hadrian’s Wall — and explains the fascinating stories behind them. Jenkins’ entertaining and erudite entries provide the rich historical, geographical, botanical and architectural background to breathtaking sights — all beautifully illustrated — both iconic and undiscovered. From Gold Hill, the Dorset village street so famously picturesque it was used in a Hovis advert, to the view of the City of London famously depicted by Canaletto and the wilds of the Yorkshire moors, this book will inspire you to discover the treasures of England’s sea, city and landscapes for yourself. Filled with roman roads, cliff-tops, follies, mountains, ancient castles, rolling forests and heart-stopping moments, you’ll soon wonder how you chose walks, mini-breaks or spontaneous diversions without it.

Review: This is a wonderful book and a joyful reminder of the bounty of England’s Green and Pleasant Land Which our numberless forbears created and cultivated for our delight and pleasure. it is timely in that we are under the dark threatening cloud of a savage barbaric attack on our environment by a stupid uncomprehending David Cameron. One hopes this book will succeed in arresting his primitive Although destructive urges.. Although one wonders who and how we are to stop him.
