This beautifully finished
book, with a foreword
by the Duke of Devonshire, abounds with page-filling photographs and informative
accompanying text. It represents Graham's three year photographic
exploration of the Peak District.
Simple maps enable
the reader to follow an outstanding visual tour that journeys
through this much loved National Park - its four distinct
regions represented by the book's four chapters - The
Northern Peak, The Eastern Peak, The White Peak & The
South-Western Peak. The differing terrain is easily
identifiable from the stunning imagery and is photographed in
the often elusive optimum light that it deserves.
The route begins
amidst the dark gritstone plateaus of the
Northern Peak before journeying along the remarkable Eastern
edges, across the White Peak’s undulating limestone plateau
abruptly interrupted by dramatic gorges and dales and finally,
through the South-Western Peak with its impressive gritstone
outcrops, beautiful moorlands and tree-lined valleys.
A must for every
lover of the British landscape. |
