The eastern counties have a wealth of ancient half-timbered architecture, punctuated by buildings in flint and limestone, while to the west lie the honey-colored streets and houses of the Cotswolds.Here, too, are towns formed by their social and cultural contexts—the elegant Georgian and Victorian houses of Buxton, Derbyshire, reflecting its heyday as a fashionable spa; the imposing terraces in Bury St. Darker stones lend a slightly forbidding yet noble air to the towns of the north, such as Barnard Castle. All the places included here embody a long, preindustrial heritage; they are also communities of a well-preserved beauty, widely visited by travelers from all parts of the world.Twenty-five of the most beguiling small towns of rural and seaside England are included. An inspirational tour and celebration of some of the most attractive small towns in the English countryside.Complementing the best-selling The Most Beautiful Villages of England, Hugh Palmer has produced a stunning sequence of images of those ancient towns in which the true heart of England lies. Here are market towns that have traditionally owed their importance and prosperity
