Given the arrival of successive waves of settlers and invaders stretching back over countless millennia, it is not surprising that England has such a rich and eclectic heritage, tradition and culture. Each of the numerous regions within the island is unique and distinguishable: with a spectacular array of scenery from the broads of East Anglia to the fells of the Lake District, from the granite tors in Cornwall to the rolling downs of the south-east. Medieval castles, Roman cities, ruined abbeys and the enormous richness and variety of landscape to be found in England are portrayed as Talbot and Whiteman offer a beautiful and informative insight into the English countryside.
