More than 100 poems about the nature of Britain in a beautifully illustrated book. Seven chapters cover different aspects of the British countryside, including the seasons, birds and wildlife, forests, water, moors, and mountains. This carefully curated collection will inspire you to explore nature through the eyes of a poet – the perfect antidote to "times when the world is too much for us," as Wordsworth so beautifully described it.

Includes famous poems by great poets – Keats, Yeats, Tennyson, Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, Philip Larkin, Sylvia Plath, John Masefield, Robert Burns, Dylan Thomas – as well as works by contemporary poets you will want to discover and explore further, such as Carol Anne Duffy, Simon Armitage, and Jean Sprackland. In cases where the poems are connected to the National Trust, footnotes are included to explain the connections.
