This revised edition of Beautiful Cornwall continues the same photographic journey as the original book, though with the text fully updated and some of the images replaced with new photography. This book celebrates photographically the stunning beauty of the county of Cornwall. Divided into five chapters, the first is a text-led overview of what Cornwall is like, its landscape, natural environment, its towns, and the farming, fishing and tourism parts of its livelihood. Chapters 2 to 5 are photo-essays covering different parts of the county: The East, North Cornwall and Bodmin Moor, South Cornwall, and the Far West (including the Scillies). Being strongly photo-led, concentrating on the beauty of Cornwall, and a short book, it is intended that Beautiful Cornwall should appeal to anyone looking for a memento of time spent in the county, whether living there or visiting.
