Wye Valley by George Peterken

A definitive natural history of the Wye Valley covering the geology, geomorphology, conservation and ecological history of this diverse area of outstanding natural beauty.

‘This is a beautiful book, written with love and enthusiasm and clarity, and produced to the New Naturalist’s highest standards, with an evocative jacket design by Robert Gillmor’
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.’
Natur Cymru
