About This Book
A comprehensive county survey combines concise introductory chapters on location, physical landscape, climate, flora and fauna, population, communications, industries, history and antiquities with an illustrated alphabetical gazetteer of towns, villages and hamlets. The author relies on personal observation and specialist contributions to describe churches, parks, woods, waterways, transport links and local monuments, supplying statistical notes, botanical and ornithological observations, and historical and architectural details. Photographs, maps and indices accompany the entries to help readers locate and visualise places.
