I have to admit to kicking off my reading of the newest edition of 1,000 Locations to See Ahead of You Die by Patricia Schultz with a slightly negative attitude. "Chatsworth House, hmm? Blenheim is significantly better." And then five or six pages later, there's Blenheim - this author's reading my mind! A bit later I'm thinking "Chester is fine and it's got half-timber I suppose but Ludlow is so considerably nicer." A few pages later, there is Ludlow...
That soon endeared this book to me. So did the truth that Cambridge is the quite to begin with entry in the book. Not Harvard, not Yale, not Nalanda or Al-Aqsa or Bologna and especially not Oxford. They got that suitable (what do you mean, I'm biased?). Though it really is a pity that the side-trip to Ely isn't mentioned. The sight of Ely cathedral's lantern soaring above the Fens is a single of the greatest expressions of English landscape and architecture.
Author Patricia Schultz would be terrible in a single of these interviews so beloved by the newspapers where celebs have to pick out - "Britney or Madonna?" "Tea or coffee?" She had included in her book Exmoor and Dartmoor, Bath and Wells, Salisbury and Winchester, Leeds Castle and Sissinghurst.
Any gaps? Well, I get a feeling that lowland England has been missed out. I would have to say that the wonderful expanses of the South Downs and the chalk of the Ridgeway are among the greatest landscapes of the world, and they are not included - but the Cotswolds are.
Nothing in East Anglia is mentioned, which is a pity considering that this region has some of the loveliest villages: Finchingfield, Kersey, Lavenham and Framlingham - although the latter pair are little towns really. And just as soon as, I feel she's actually missed a trick Stonehenge is right here, but not Avebury, an equally fascinating monument and without having the nasty visitor centre and fences. No Durham cathedral! Now that is really a shame again, comparable to visiting Ely, seeing that to begin with view of Durham's wonderful church and castle on leading of their ridge above the Wear is 1 of the excellent English landscape experiences.
