INSIDE THIS EDITION


Tere really is nowhere in the world like our wonderful British countryside. We’re lucky enough to have 15 national parks — 10 in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland — and a coastline that’s as varied as it is beautiful. Inside this issue, we celebrate all


things bucolic. With the waiting for the Glorious Twelfth finally over, we take a look at country sports like clay pigeon shooting and fishing, and there’s also a round-up of the UK’s leading gunmakers. Elsewhere, we delve into the longstanding British love affair with horses. While some of the nation’s finest


properties can be found in the countryside, many are now listed buildings, which often puts buyers off. We hear from one couple who managed to successfully negotiate the planning permission process to extend their cottage and create their dream home. We also journey to the Isle of


Purbeck to learn why this tiny corner of Dorset is such a haven for wildlife, and take a look at the best of British summer produce. Happy reading!
