Dreaming of an escape from the rat race? This is an inspirational and practical book perfect for anyone looking to make the move ? or even armchair travellers and fans of property porn. The book is organised regionally, looking at the typical kinds of home you find in each place, the sort of landscape, local landmarks and days out. It is beautifully illustrated throughout with the beautiful vistas to be enjoyed from the homes in the countryside, and gorgeous homes ? from thatched cottages to stone farmhouses, restored mills and barn conversions.
