Robin Whiteman Book order (chronological)

England's foremost landscape photographer-authors take you through a breathtaking visual tour of every region that helps you see as never before the amazing variety of the country's natural beauty. Leave behind the crowded cities and busy highways, and go beyond the tour-guide villages and plowed-under farmlands, to see England as a series of beautifully unfolding landscapes, the way its earliest arrivals must have seen it, from the broads of East Anglia to the fells of the Lake District, and from the granite tors in Cornwall to the rolling downs of the Southeast. In 130 color photographs, many oversized and double-spread, gorgeous displays of natural heritage, tradition, and culture highlight what gives each region a distinct and unique sense of place.

This book will cover the Border Country that stretches from the Irish Sea and the Solway Firth in the west to the North Sea in the east, and from the Scottish Border in the north to the northern extremities of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales in the south.The area was very active during the Industrial Revolution, but much of the diverse landscape - waterfalls, forests, moorlands etc. remains unspoiled because of its remoteness. As one of the great centres of Christianity in England, the region is celebrated for its ecclesiastical treasures, whilst the large number of castles, strongholds and fortifications reflects centuries of border warfare.

The English Lake District is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas in Britain. A source of inspiration for both writers and painters, the Lake District became a popular area for visitors from as early as the 18th century. This collection of photographs celebrates the beauty of this area.

Landscapes of beauty...in a world that time seems to have passed by. Step away from the city's hustle and bustle and into the country, where old castles and abbeys stand, where small villages maintain their charm, where the spirit of long ago still burns bright, unextinguished by the modern age. Striking photographs bring forth all the magic and romance of rural areas throughout Britain and France -- the highlands and islands; the gardens with fountains, topiary, cottage flowers, and fragrant herbs; the canals and country railways; the small pubs where one can still quaff a pint among friends. What wonderful places to be.

Beautiful and unspoiled, Britain's Lake District is the crown jewel in a land filled with scenic treasures. The variety of landscapes found in a mere thirty-five square miles simply takes the breath away.

Along with the images, a revealing text describes the history, geography, traditions, and literary connections of this exceptional region.
