This impressive tome takes the reader on a beautifully illustrated tour. Sunday Telegraph This is one of the most alluring gardening books I have seen in a long time, giving a real sense of a unique location. What a refreshing change from all those good-looking coffee-table books that try to cram a whole world of gardening into one breathless, door-stopping volume. Tim Longville's engaging and informative text draws us into the green-fingered worlds of an eclectic range of owners and gardeners, and Val Corbett's sensitive, evocative photography has been faithfully reproduced to the highest standards. All are in a generous format that enables you to wallow in the green glories of a compellingly scenic region far more blessed than bothered by its climate. -- Kathryn Bradley-Hole Country Life Leaves you with a fierce pride of Cumbria's rich and varied landscape, and buying this as a gift is the perfect excuse to share it all. Cumbria Life Insider knowledge about the history and secrets of the gardens and, if you're a regular visitor to the area, this is a must-have. Garden Answers
