The Language of the Landscape

At the age of five Angus Winchester moved with his family to Cockermouth in the north of the Lake District, close to Buttermere, Loweswater and Crummock Water.

So began a life-long love of a Lakeland valley and a fascination for the history which shaped it.

The Language of the Landscape combines these two in a passionate and scholarly examination of the effect of place on our lives and imagination.
