Dreaming of an escape from the rat race? This is an inspirational and practical book perfect for anyone looking to make the move – or even armchair travellers and fans of property porn.             This book offers advice on what to look for in a rural property, renovation and building, as well as transport and heating, running a rural business and the pros and cons of life in the countryside. The second half of the book is organised regionally, looking at the typical kinds of home you find in each place, the sort of landscape, local landmarks and days out. Features sprinkled through the book cover everything from dealing with listed building consent and public footpaths to how grow your own food and discourage deer from eating it first. It is beautifully illustrated throughout with the beautiful vistas to be enjoyed from the homes in the countryside, and gorgeous homes – from thatched cottages to stone farmhouses, restored mills and barn conversions.             Jules Hudson is well placed to talk about conservation and renovation issues too, having trained as an archaeologist and renovated his own historic house. He has been a presenter on BBC’s Escape to the Country since 2007. The programme has run on daytime BBC1 since 2002, and is now in its eighteenth series. Each week it helps urban buyers find their dream home in rural Britain by showing them three specially selected properties. Along the way the programme tells us about the landscape and history of each area.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49548549947665,"sku":"GOR010732946","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50096913711377,"sku":"GOR011594783","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50150591856913,"sku":"GOR010649976","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911358901.jpg?v=1751454723"},{"product_id":"walled-gardens-book-jules-hudson-9781909881969","title":"Walled Gardens","description":"The walled garden was once an essential component of every country house, its shelter providing ideal conditions for growing food, flowers, and medicine. This book from the National Trust looks at walled gardens throughout England and Wales and explores their history, innovative design, and cultural heritage. Walled gardens are a feature of British gardening history. In the late 18th century, gardens became status symbols, with aristocrats vying to grow ever more exotic fruits--ushering in innovations such as glasshouses and even heated walls. With the First and Second World Wars many of these gardens fell into disrepair, but renovated ones feature at many key National Trust properties and remain a source of pride and fascination today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49637113233681,"sku":"GOR009156305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49770331570449,"sku":"GOR009128003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50199705485585,"sku":"GOR011524800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1909881961.jpg?v=1751447020"},{"product_id":"wild-at-heart-book-jules-hudson-9781917439343","title":"Wild At Heart","description":"As seen on BBC's hit shows, Escape to the Country and Countryfile, this is Jules Hudson's first memoir.  Wild at Heart documents the highs and lows and moments of triumph and tragedy Hudson has experienced both on and off our screens.  \"Throughout what has been a colourful life and exciting career, I've often joked at many memorable moments along the way that they would definitely go into 'the book'!\"  A household name to millions, Jules Hudson has been a familiar face on TV for decades. Fronting hit shows from Escape to the Country to Winter and Springtime on the Farm and Countryfile, he has become an integral part of life for the 'Farmy Army' of dedicated fans.  It hasn't been a straight path to an idyllic new life in the rural landscapes of Britain however.  In his first memoir, Jules reveals the highs and lows and moments of triumph and tragedy he has experienced both on and off our screens.  Jules pens an inspiring and evocative portrait not only of his own life, but of the countryside and people he found his true home with.  Taking readers from his beginnings in urban Essex to the mountains, fields and woods - not to mention the animals - of his new home in the countryside, his journey shows that all along he really was Wild at Heart.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51630858764561,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51630860140817,"sku":"NGR9781917439343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1917439342.jpg?v=1755599724"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jules-hudson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
