The volume particularly focuses on the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in its regional setting, making it the first of its kind to be published. 160p, col illus. (Windgather Press 2009)

Review Quotes

"Fourteen chapters provide a valuable topographical account of the area... A hundred illustrations complement the text and enhance the usefulness of a text of more than local appeal."

Northern History, vol 48, No. 1 (March 2011)

"With more than 100 photographs, paintings, maps and diagrams, this book leaves the reader with a better understanding of this area which is well worth a visit."

Bill Spence
Yorkshire Gazette (7 April 2010)

"For those interested in historical landscapes, then, this book is a nice sampler of a distinctive area, whose profile — as an AONB or an area of academic study — is rather lower than it might be... It certainly underlines gulfs of unexplored potential and their impact on the stories we tell; and in that, too, it performs a useful service."

Paul Everson
Landscape History, vol 31, No. 2 (2011)

"This book has been a major undertaking, bringing so many aspeacts of the area under one cover, and the editor is to be congratulated on assembling so many fields of expertise and interest. This will remain an important introduction to the Lincolnshire Wolds."

Hilary Healey
Lincolnshire History and Archaeology Vol 44
