The landscape of the British Isles is one of the most diverse in the world. Within these islands there is everything from wild mountains, coasts and moorlands to gentle farmland, forests and meandering rivers. Imprinted over this diversity is a rich history, visible as much in the buildings as in the shape of the landscape itself. From prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge to the vast modern motorways which sweep across the land, Britain is marked indelibly by the works of man. In this book Jason Hawkes has spent the last year covering Britain by helicopter taking photographs of oblique and unfamiliar approaches to famous landmarks and buildings and sweeping long views which capture the character of specific regions.
