Wild and Free

You don’t need to disappear off to a craggy moor if you’re yearning for solitude and wildlife. Britain is brimming with unsung nature spots where few people tread, and in this easy-to-navigate book Couzens takes you by the hand and leads you to 100 of them. Here be no exits through gift shops – these sites are largely off the beaten track, yet within reach of a large town or city. Every page is imbued with the author’s enthusiasm and knowledge, reminding us that our countryside is a resource to treasure. Keep it in the glovebox and let the fun begin.
