Reviews for Alston Moor: Buildings and Bastles (Informed Conservation)
This is a beautiful book, richly illustrated to English Heritage's usual high standard. As Simon Thurley says in his foreword, 'Alston Moor is a very special place'. It can appear cold, wet and bleak but the superb photographs let the reader glimpse the magical quality of its landscape.
