Cross Country by Peter Ashley
In Cross Country photographer and author Peter Ashley unleashes his passion for Blightly. He takes us on an enlightening jaunt that encompasses England's most loved regions. This spans the Cotswolds, the Lake District, the North Cornwall coast and many other picturesque locations around England.
' Happily, his rich, descriptive writing, peppered with personal reminiscences and anecdotes, is every bit as evocative as his pictures' (Eastern Daily Press, March 2011). '...so lavishly illustrated with his marvellously atmospheric images that its text could almost be described as one long picture caption.' (The Independent, April 2011). ' His [Peter's] many anecdotes help to enrich a book which is a happy blend of both familiar and unfamiliar, past and present.' (Leicester Mercury, April 2011). 'A warm, witty and intriguing view of the England we all love.' (Countryside Voice, Spring 2011). 'Such a lovely book...a joy to read.' (Shropshire Star, May 2011).
