Oliver Rackham, British Wildlife
‘More like a work of scholarship than a conventional guidebook, this is an impressive and hugely detailed examination of the ecology, natural history and landscape of this spectacular region.’
Sunday Telegraph
‘The definitive guide to one of Britain's most unspoilt rivers … the introduction is impressive and lyrical, the descriptions of the river and its valley beautiful.’
BBC Wildlife
‘Wye Valley embodies everything that is good about the New Naturalist series … an outstanding volume in an illustrious series. It is written with clarity and verve, which makes it a pleasure to read.’
