Nature Reserves of Great Britain (

London: Bishopsgate Press, Limited. Fine/Fine. 1991. First Edition. Hard Cloth Cover. 4to 1852190337 During the 20th century Britain's landscape has changed dramatically - many woodlands and hedgerows, ponds and copses have vanished to be replaced by open fields and conifer plantations. The varied flora and fauna that once inspired writers, artists and poets is now found mainly in those places we call nature reserves. Within the pages of this book Dennis Furnell will guide you to a number of nature reserves of special interest and help you to discover those places where you can get away from the hurley-burley of modern living. It's arranged in such a way - county by county - that, finding yourself in a particular area, you will be able easily to locate a nearby reserve; points of particular interest and map references are included and the wide variety of reserves allows you to explore all aspects of nature. With this book, as much an armchair guide as a practical `on-the-road' companion, you can enjoy the scenic beauty of the British isles and also catch a glimpse of what it was that once inspired the poets and writers. .
