Upland

Award-winning writer and photographer Andrew Fusek Peters was commissioned to document Long Mynd and the Stiperstones as part of Stepping Stones, a conservation project by Natural England/National Trust. He has captured the variety of its flora and fauna through both photography and prose, creating a lyrical testament to the Shropshire landscape.

The Long Mynd and the Stiperstones ridge make up the largest area of heathland in the Shropshire Hills. Upland is an exploration of the wildlife and landscape of these two hills in stunning photography and lyrical nature writing by Andrew Fusek Peters. Commissioned by the National Trust and Natural England for their major environmental project, Stepping Stones, he found more than simply a catalog of flora and fauna; instead, he discovered the beauty of ravens, whitethroats, hobbies, skylarks, cuckoos, landscapes, orchids, full moons, dawns, dusks, and the Milky Way in wondrous color.
