| Description: |
|
Cornwall has a unique culture, heritage, beauty and atmosphere. Its character is defined to a large extent by the places, people, natural features and buildings that typify and represent the best of the county. In words and photographs, this book portrays those iconic locations that exemplify Cornwall – places that fascinate, intrigue and inspire. They range from ancient castles and defences, through nineteenth-century tin mines and bridges, to harbours, gardens, churches, and some of Britain’s most spectacular moorland and coast.

Sarah Chapman was born in Cornwall. She spent much of her childhood in Truro, before reading Geography at Manchester University. Her love of the county encouraged her to return to teach in Camborne, Helston and finally in Truro, before leaving the profession to work with her husband, David, from their smallholding near Hayle. Her passion for the county of Cornwall and her knowledge of its character are reflected in this, her first, book.
Author of Wild about Cornwall (Alison Hodge, 2007), David Chapman is a trustee of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and is passionate about the protection of our wild places. He is a professional photographer and writer, and his work is featured regularly in BBC Wildlife Magazine, Gardens Monthly, Natural World, Bird Watching, Birds Illustrated, Cornwall Today, Cornwall Life, Devon Life, Somerset Life, MMM, The Caravan Club Magazine and Smallholder. His photographs are stocked by a number of photographic libraries. David has twice won double awards from the Outdoor Writers Guild for Photography and Excellence in Writing, and his photographs regularly win competitions at both local and national levels.
