Houses of the National Trust by Lydia Greeves, hardback published by the National Trust. ISBN 978-1-905400-66-9, price 30.00 available from www.anovabooks.com
Whatever your opinion of the National Trust, there should be no doubt that they have conserved some of Great Britain’s finest homes and gardens. Here they are shown in all their glory with appropriate text, excellent photography and a beautifully produced book.
My copy was parting ways with its cover down the spine, so watch for that – it’s a heavy tome. 400 pages take you on a guided tour of the wealth of historic homes owned by the Trust. Discover fabulous interiors, breathtaking furniture, the eccentricities of the English, beautiful architecture and more. It is the perfect guide for armchair travellers and those that actually do the walking too.
