A Love Affair With The Countryside

1 November 2006

‘… if you have ever caught your breath at the natural world … if your heart soars when you see a hawk hovering … if the moan of a high wind or the muttering from a thunder cloud fills you with awe, then you will understand that the term “love” in relation to rural England is not as ludicrous as it might at first appear.’


So writes Jonathan Dimbleby in CPRE’s [1] members’ magazine Countryside Voice (enclosed) [2] which features an extract from CPRE’s new book A Portrait of England [3] published to celebrate CPRE’s 80th anniversary [4].
