Description

Today, the countryside of the Welsh borders, the Cotswolds, the Berkshire Downs, the Chilterns and the east of England is celebrated as some of the most beautiful that Britain has to offer. However, back in the 1920s when fewer people owned cars, such parts were still little known and even less visited. Originally published during that time, Harold Donaldson Eberlein's guide takes readers on journeys to places rich with tradition and countryside lore. Writing with insight and affection about all that he finds and with numerous photos and illustrations, he describes natural beauty spots such as the Long Mynd, idyllic Cotswold villages, historic towns such as Ludlow and the harmonious landscapes of windmills and fens to be found in East Anglia and Essex. Although the countryside has changed much since the time of its writing, Little Known England offers both a nostalgic peek back at the past and a reminder of the delights that still await present-day travellers.
