Tristan Gooley hails it as 'A beautiful book', while Rory Stewart praises it as 'A splendid book - lively, affectionately observed, capturing the extraordinary range and variety of the Parks and all that is inspiring about our landscape'. This captivating volume commemorates the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the national parks, celebrating the nation's most breathtaking natural havens.

The United Kingdom boasts a remarkable 15 national parks, each one a treasure trove of natural wonders. These awe-inspiring locations span a diverse array of landscapes, from the sub-arctic peaks of the Cairngorms in Scotland to the ancient woodlands and vineyards of England's South Downs; from the dramatic Pembrokeshire coastline in Wales to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District.

Sanctuaries for some of our most precious flora and fauna, the national parks of the UK were established to safeguard our cultural heritage and nurture our connection with the natural world. This inspirational journey through the parks captures the very essence of the British landscape, brought to life through nearly 200 stunning photographs.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
