Country Life : 125 Years Of Countryside Living In Great Britain From The Archives Of Country Life

For 125 years, Country Life has provided readers with the best overview of all things British. The magazine is renowned for its unprecedented access to British castles and palaces, as well as the private estates and manor houses that dot the countryside from Dorset to the Scottish Highlands, revealing many of them for the first time.

From Holkham Hall, Chatsworth and Burghley to Munstead Wood, Sissinghurst and Kelmscott, from the charming villages of the Cotswolds to the panoramic views of the Yorkshire Dales and Glastonbury, this book brings together for the first time houses and gardens that epitomise British country life, as seen through the eyes of Country Life.
