The Forest of Bowland by Helen Shaw
One of the Queen's favourite places on earth, the Forest of Bowland is one of the most undiscovered wild places in Britain. Stretching from Lancashire to Yorkshire, it has changed its face from its days as a hunting ground for the Kings of England, but it still contains some of the most spectacular views, wildest crags and moorlands, and idyllic rural farmland and small villages and hamlets. The stunning images taken by local photographer Helen Shaw reveal many of the secret places in today's Forest of Bowland.
Helen Shaw lives in the North Pennines on a remote hillside south of Garrigill, Cumbria. Her photographs have featured in The Times, Manchester Evening News, This England, Cumbria Life, Westmoreland Gazette, The Scots magazine, Northern Life, and countless other magazines and newspapers all across northern England. Her photographic books have earned her a strong following: The Forest of Bowland, Land’s End to John O’Groats, The Pennines, String of Pearls (Lake District), The North Pennines is her fifth book of landscape photography and her first one focussing entirely on her home of the North Pennines. A keen walker and lover of wild and lonely places, she is married to Bob Shelmerdine who shares her passion for the outdoors. Dr Andrew Stachulski is a senior research fellow at Liverpool University and lives near Blackburn, Lancashire. He has climbed all the major Lake District fells, all the Munros, walked the Pennine Way, Coast to Coast Walk and Offa’s Dyke path. He has written a book, Home Ground, a collection of 20 walks in north-west England and has contributed to many walking magazines.
