Sandlands - Tom Williamson

Along the east coast of Suffolk lies a narrow strip of
undeveloped countryside. Comprising woodland, rolling hills,
wetlands and heaths, this area is now an `Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty'. In this well-illustrated study, Tom Williamson
explores the fortunes of the so-called `Suffolk Coasts and
Heaths' region, examining such themes as the reclamation of
wetlands through the centuries, the significance of this region
to prehistoric and Anglian farmers, its natural resources,
including wind and windmills, its settlements and plantations,
its castles and fortifications, its manmade and natural
landscapes and its popularity today as a tourist destination.
