Summary
Over many centuries poets have drawn inspiration and solace from the land that surrounds us. From mountain high to valley floor from sea cliffs to sandy shore through wood and field, across rivers, brooks and streams through sunlight, raging storms and the cloak of night these shores have some of the most beautiful natural treasures to be found anywhere. 1 - Fifty Shades of the British Countryside - An Introduction 2 - On a Lane in Spring by John Clare 3 - It Was An April Morning Fresh and Clear by William Wordsworth 4 - The Lambs of Grassmere by Christina Georgina Rossetti 5 - Memorials of a Tour in Scotland August 1803 by William Wordsworth 6 - High Waving Heather 'Neath Stormy Blasts Bending by Emily Jane Bronte 7 - Hop Picking by Edith Nesbit 8 - I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud by William Wordsworth 9 - Summer by Alexander Pope 10 - Binsey Poplars by Gerard Manley Hopkins 11 - Loveliest of Trees, The Cherry Now by A E Housman 12 - The Oak by Alfred Lord Tennyson 13 - The Chestnut by Robert Laurence Binyon 14 - Wood Rides by John Clare 15 - In Sutton Woods by Alfred Austin 16 - There Is a Pleasure in the Pathless Woods by Lord Byron 17 - Dirge in Woods by George Meredith 18 - The Hill Pines Were Sighing by Robert Seymour Bridges 19 - There is a Hill by Robert Seymour Bridges 20 - Grongar Hill by John Dyer 21 - The Malvern Hills by Radclyffe Hall 22 - Sonnet XLIII.
