THE HEART OF ENGLAND. Rob Talbot & Robin Whiteman (Paperback) 2003

Add a description hereTHE HEART OF ENGLAND by Rob Talbot & Robin Whiteman.

The Heart of England covers the lush pastureland and gentle, rolling hills that stretch from Shrewsbury in the north to Gloucester in the south, and from the Welsh borders in the west to Stratford-upon- Avon in the east.

The region has witnessed more passion and spilt blood than any other area in the kingdom: poets and writers have celebrated its legends, kings covered its hunting forests, armies clashed on its meadows, farmers blessed its fertility, and industrialists exploited its mineral resources. The towns, villages and houses that lie within this special region typify, too, traditional England: half-timbered cottages and ancient villages, elegant spa towns, great catherdrals, impressive fortresses, stately homes and historic manor houses.
