Written by CPRE’s former Chairman Peter Waine and longtime Senior Communications Officer Oliver Hilliam, 22 Ideas That Saved The English Countryside is a chronicle of the once-radical ideas such as National Parks, Green Belts, and Democratic Planning that have saved so much of our countryside.

This is a wonderful book that will appeal to anyone interested in English social history and the evolution of modern-day land use planning. Among the “ideas” are Keeping Villages Alive, Rural Planning, The Right to Roam, and Saving Our Forests. Written in a story-telling style, this book is perfect for anyone who is passionate about the countryside.
